A heavy, rounded sans with soft-rectangular geometry and broadly curved bowls. Strokes stay consistently thick, with blunt terminals and slightly squared-off curves that keep forms stable and blocky. Counters are compact and often appear as rounded rectangles, producing a dense, poster-like texture at text sizes. The lowercase uses simple, single-storey constructions and straightforward joins, while capitals are broad and strongly built with minimal modulation.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and social media graphics where bold shapes need to read quickly. It can work for brief pull quotes or labels, but the dense counters and heavy color make it less ideal for long passages at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a buoyant, cartoon-like solidity. Its rounded massing and tight counters give it a playful, retro display personality that feels confident and loud without becoming sharp or aggressive.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual weight with friendly, rounded forms, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a cohesive, simplified construction for display-driven typography.
The rhythm is tightly packed and highly graphic, emphasizing silhouette over internal detail. The numerals follow the same chunky logic, with closed, sturdy forms and clear, simplified shapes that match the alphabet.
