A heavy, soft-edged sans with squared, superellipse-like contours and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are broad and uniform with a slightly condensed interior space, creating compact counters and sturdy silhouettes. Terminals are blunt and softened, and several joins show subtle notches that read like ink-trap-inspired shaping, helping separate strokes in tight interior areas. The overall rhythm is wide and stable, with simple, geometric construction and minimal stroke modulation.
Best suited for high-impact display settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and short emphatic UI/marketing phrases. It can work for brief blocks of copy when set with ample spacing, but it reads most comfortably when used large and bold-forward.
The font projects a bold, upbeat personality: friendly and approachable, but with enough mass to feel assertive. Its rounded-rectangle geometry gives a retro, sign-painting-meets-cartoon tone that feels fun and attention-grabbing rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a friendly, geometric voice—combining sturdy, rounded-rectangle construction with small shaping cues that keep counters from clogging at heavy weights. It prioritizes recognizability and punch in display contexts while maintaining a cohesive, playful tone across letters and numerals.
Lowercase forms lean toward single-storey, simplified shapes that emphasize clarity and impact over delicacy. Numerals are equally blocky and rounded, matching the letterforms’ soft-cornered, display-first attitude. In longer text, the dense blackness and tight inner spaces create a strong headline texture that benefits from generous tracking and line spacing.
