A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and soft corner treatment throughout. Strokes are thick and steady, with mostly monoline construction and gently curved joins that keep the texture smooth at large sizes. Counters are relatively compact, and the round letters (O, C, G, Q) lean on near-circular geometry, while straighter letters (E, F, H, N) retain squared terminals without sharpness. The overall rhythm is dense and emphatic, with consistent weight and clear, simple silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where strong presence and quick recognition are needed—posters, packaging, brand marks, and storefront or wayfinding signage. It can also work for short subheads or callouts, but the dense color suggests avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The tone is bold and approachable, combining a contemporary, friendly softness with a slightly retro, poster-like punch. Its rounded forms and compact interior spaces give it a lively, playful presence that reads as confident rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded voice: a simple geometric base pushed into a thick, attention-grabbing display style that remains legible and consistent across letters and figures.
The numerals follow the same chunky, rounded logic, and the punctuation/diacritics shown (such as the i/j dots and the ampersand) are rendered as sturdy, high-visibility shapes. In running text the weight creates a strong, dark typographic color and a tight, energetic texture.
