A heavy, rounded sans with broadly geometric construction and softened corners. Strokes are thick and confident with visible modulation in curves and joins, giving counters a lively, slightly sculpted feel rather than a purely monoline look. Round letters like C, G, O, and Q are built from near-circular forms with generous interior space, while flat-sided letters (E, F, H, I, L) read as sturdy blocks. Details add character: the lowercase a is single-storey, terminals often flare subtly, and the lowercase i/j use diamond-shaped dots that sharpen the otherwise rounded rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short copy where its mass and rounded shapes can read clearly at larger sizes. It can work well for brand marks, packaging, event graphics, and signage that benefit from a friendly, retro-leaning display voice.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a retro display energy that feels fun and slightly mischievous. Its chunky silhouettes and quirky details create a friendly voice that stands out without feeling aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver high visual impact with an approachable, characterful feel—combining geometric foundations with softened corners and distinctive details to keep the texture lively in both uppercase and lowercase settings.
The numerals share the same bold, rounded geometry; the 0 is strongly oval with a small counter, and the 8 has compact stacked bowls. Uppercase forms feel poster-like and stable, while lowercase shapes introduce more personality through softer joins and playful terminals, helping set an informal rhythm in text lines.
