A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes stay broadly even, while curves and joins produce a bouncy rhythm and slightly irregular, hand-cut feel. Counters are generally small and tight, with simplified interior shapes; terminals are blunt and rounded rather than sharply cut. The lowercase leans toward single-storey forms and short ascenders/descenders, keeping words dense and blocky at text sizes.
Best suited for bold headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where a friendly, attention-grabbing voice is needed. It also works well for short bursts of copy—labels, calls to action, and social graphics—where its dense, rounded shapes can carry strong visual presence without relying on fine detail.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a distinctly retro, poster-like personality. Its soft geometry and chunky silhouettes read as friendly and humorous rather than technical or formal.
Designed to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry and simplified counters to create a warm, playful display voice. The quirky details suggest an aim for character and memorability over strict neutrality.
The letterforms show intentional idiosyncrasies—particularly in diagonals and angled joins—giving text a lively, slightly quirky texture. Numerals follow the same compact, rounded logic and feel consistent for display use.
