A heavy, wide display sans built from rounded-rectangle curves and soft superelliptic counters. Strokes are massive with crisp, clean edges and noticeably pinched joins in places, creating a lively rhythm despite the overall blockiness. Round letters like O, C, and G read as flattened ovals with smooth, inflated interiors, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, L) feel like solid slabs with gently rounded corners. Lowercase forms keep a tall x-height and compact apertures, with single-storey a and g and a sturdy, almost poster-like construction across the set. Numerals follow the same inflated geometry, with tight internal openings and strong silhouettes suited to large sizes.
Best suited for headlines and short phrases where its chunky silhouettes can carry impact—posters, logotypes, packaging, storefront signage, and bold editorial display. It can also work for playful campaign graphics where a compact, high-ink presence is desired.
The overall tone is bold and friendly, with a slightly humorous, retro advertisement feel. Its wide stance and pillow-like curves make it feel approachable and attention-seeking rather than neutral or technical.
This font appears designed to maximize visual impact through wide proportions, soft-cornered geometry, and dense counters, yielding a friendly display voice that stays clean and sans-serif while leaning into retro, poster-like presence.
The design relies on large black areas and relatively small counters, so spacing and legibility tighten quickly at smaller sizes. The rounded-square logic is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving headings a uniform, high-impact texture.
