A compact, heavy sans with softened corners and a sculpted, almost cut-out feel. Strokes are thick and confident with subtly modulated joins; counters tend to be rounded and generous for the weight, helping clarity at display sizes. Proportions are tightly set with narrow letterforms and a tall lowercase presence, while widths vary noticeably across characters, adding a lively rhythm. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, and curves (notably in C, S, and O) read smooth and slightly squashed rather than perfectly circular.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand moments where strong silhouette and personality matter. It can work well for logos and wordmarks, especially when a compact footprint is helpful, and for short subheads or callouts where its dense, punchy color supports emphasis.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, with a playful retro flavor that feels energetic and informal. Its chunky shapes and compact rhythm give it a poster-like impact, while the rounded internal spaces keep it friendly rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a warm, approachable texture. Its softened geometry and variable widths suggest a deliberate push toward personality and display presence over strict neutrality.
Distinctive details like the single-storey a and g, a compact, hooked j, and simplified, blocky numerals reinforce a custom, characterful voice. The heavy weight and tight proportions favor short bursts of text over extended reading, where its dense texture can become dominant.
