A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Curves are squarish and superelliptical rather than purely circular, giving counters a roomy but sturdy feel. Strokes are broadly uniform with subtle modulation, and terminals finish bluntly, producing a dense, poster-ready silhouette. The lowercase is robust and simple, with single-storey forms (notably a and g) and short, thick joins; the overall rhythm reads even and tightly packed, with clear, geometric spacing in both text and display sizes.
Best suited to attention-forward applications like posters, headlines, logos, packaging, and bold editorial callouts. It also works for short blocks of text where a strong, friendly voice is desired, though its dense weight favors larger sizes and generous line spacing.
The tone is bold and upbeat, mixing a friendly softness with assertive weight. Its rounded block forms suggest a retro, sign-painting-adjacent energy that feels approachable rather than technical. The texture in paragraphs is dark and emphatic, making statements feel confident and a bit playful.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a softened geometric vocabulary—combining sturdy, rectangular curves with approachable rounding for a distinctive, high-contrast silhouette in display settings.
Distinctive superellipse bowls appear across O/C/G and similar forms, while diagonals (V/W/X) stay broad and stable without sharpness. Numerals are chunky and highly graphic, matching the letterforms’ squared curves for consistent impact.
