A heavy, rounded sans with superellipse-driven shapes and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with a sturdy, slightly condensed feel created by compact internal counters and broad verticals. Curves tend toward rounded-rectangle geometry rather than perfect circles, and joins stay smooth and simplified. The lowercase shows a tall, sturdy structure with single-storey forms (notably a and g) and wide, stable shoulders, while figures are bold and squat with clear, straightforward silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where bold presence and friendliness are needed—posters, packaging, brand marks, signage, and social graphics. It can work for short bursts of copy, but performs most confidently when used large with generous spacing to preserve interior clarity.
The font projects a warm, playful confidence—big, friendly letterforms that feel snackable and upbeat. Its chunky, softened geometry gives it a retro-pop tone that reads as casual, energetic, and approachable rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended as a high-impact, friendly display sans that leverages superelliptic, softened geometry to feel modern-retro and approachable. Its simplified construction and thick strokes prioritize immediate recognition and graphic punch.
At text sizes the tight counters and heavy weight create a strong color on the page, favoring impact over delicacy. The design’s rounded-rectangle logic keeps the alphabet visually consistent, while subtle width differences across letters add a lively rhythm in headlines and short lines.
