A heavy, soft-cornered sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly even stroke weight. Curves are full and padded, terminals are blunt, and joins read smooth rather than sharp, giving counters a compact, superelliptical feel. Proportions are generally wide and stable with a slightly bouncy baseline impression created by subtly irregular curves and varied internal spacing; the lowercase stays sturdy and readable, with single-storey forms where visible.
Best suited for short to medium-length display typography where impact and friendliness are desired—headlines, posters, product packaging, storefront or wayfinding signage, and bold brand marks. It can also work for large-size UI banners or social graphics where quick recognition matters more than typographic refinement.
The tone is warm and approachable, with a playful, poster-like presence. Its chunky shapes and softened edges suggest a casual, friendly voice rather than a technical or minimalist one, leaning toward a nostalgic, hand-made “display sans” energy.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact legibility with a friendly, rounded personality, using superelliptical geometry to keep shapes cohesive and consistent. The slight organic irregularity adds warmth, helping it feel approachable and characterful in branding and display contexts.
The uppercase has strong, blocky silhouettes that hold together well in dense settings, while the lowercase shows a more informal rhythm with rounded bowls and short, blunt terminals. Numerals match the same soft, weighty construction and feel built for visibility rather than delicate detail.
