A heavy, wide sans with rounded geometry and blunt terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, giving letters a solid, poster-like mass. Curves are generously rounded (notably in C, O, S, and the bowls of B/P/R), while joins and corners are softened rather than sharp. Counters are relatively small and enclosed, and apertures tend to be tight, emphasizing a dense, confident silhouette. Lowercase forms show a tall, prominent x-height with simple, sturdy constructions and round dots on i/j.
Best suited to display settings where impact and clarity at large sizes matter—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and simple signage. The dense forms and tight apertures can feel heavy in long text, but work well for short, high-contrast messaging and bold typographic layouts.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, combining a friendly roundness with an assertive, attention-grabbing footprint. It suggests a retro-leaning, energetic feel that reads as upbeat and practical rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a friendly, rounded voice—balancing sturdy, wide letterforms with softened details for an approachable display sans.
The wide proportions and compact internal spaces make the typeface feel weighty and stable, especially in uppercase. Numerals match the same rounded, blocky logic, with forms like 2, 3, and 5 featuring broad curves and flattened terminals that reinforce the headline-oriented presence.
