A heavy, compact sans with rounded geometry and soft corners throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with relatively small counters that create dense, punchy letterforms. Curves are broadly circular (notably in O, C, and e), while joins and terminals often end in subtly angled cuts that add snap to an otherwise smooth construction. Proportions feel slightly condensed with a tight internal rhythm; the lowercase has a sturdy, two-storey g and a compact, bulbous a, and the numerals are wide and blocky with clear, simple silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines and display applications where strong presence and quick recognition matter, such as posters, packaging, bold branding, and large-format signage. It can also work for short bursts of UI or editorial emphasis, but long passages may feel heavy due to its dense texture.
The overall tone is bold and outgoing, balancing friendliness from its rounded forms with a confident, poster-like presence. It reads as approachable and slightly retro, with enough quirk in the terminals and shapes to feel energetic rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to provide a highly legible, high-impact sans that remains friendly and contemporary through rounded construction, while adding character via angled terminals and compact proportions for a distinctive display voice.
At larger sizes it delivers strong impact, while at smaller sizes the tight counters and dense weight can make texture feel dark. The design stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, maintaining an even, solid color in lines of text.
