A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently soft corners. Strokes are uniform and dense, with tight internal counters that read as crisp, pill-like voids. Curves tend toward superelliptical bowls and arches, while joins stay blunt and clean, giving letters a sturdy, blocky silhouette. The lowercase has simple, single-storey forms and short extenders, and the overall fit feels snug, producing a tight, rhythmic texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, titles, posters, and branding marks where its dense color and rounded geometry can carry the layout. It can work for playful packaging or signage, especially at larger sizes; for longer text, its tight counters and compact forms are more effective when given ample size and spacing.
The design feels upbeat and approachable, combining a toy-like softness with a confident, poster-ready weight. Its rounded geometry evokes mid-century display lettering and contemporary “soft tech” branding at the same time, reading as friendly rather than formal.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a soft, approachable edge—pairing a bold, space-efficient footprint with rounded, superelliptical shapes for a modern-retro display feel.
Round letters (O, C, G, e) emphasize squarish bowls with generous corner radii, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are thick and compact, reinforcing the solid, emblematic look. Numerals follow the same rounded, compact logic, keeping a consistent color and presence alongside capitals and lowercase.
