A heavy, rounded sans with smooth superelliptical curves and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation, and counters are relatively small, creating a dense, high-impact color on the line. The geometry leans toward rounded-rectangle construction: bowls and curves feel squarish rather than purely circular, and joins are blunt and stable. Terminals are typically straight-cut with gentle rounding, producing a crisp yet approachable silhouette in both uppercase and lowercase, with simple, sturdy numerals to match.
Best suited to display settings where strong letterforms and compact counters can work at larger sizes, such as headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and short UI or signage phrases. It can handle brief paragraphs when set generously, but it visually excels when used for impact rather than extended reading.
The overall tone is bold and personable, combining a friendly softness with an unmistakably punchy presence. Its rounded rectangular forms suggest a retro-display sensibility—confident, slightly whimsical, and designed to feel approachable rather than technical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a soft, geometric personality, using rounded-rectangle construction to create a recognizable, contemporary-retro voice. It prioritizes bold presence and cohesion across letters and figures, making it well suited for branding-forward typography.
The typeface maintains a consistent, blocky rhythm across the alphabet, with distinctive, squared-off curves in characters like C, O, and S and similarly shaped bowls in P, R, b, and p. The numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, keeping the set cohesive for headline and branding use.
