A heavy, rounded sans built from squarish curves and softened corners, giving many letters a superellipse/rounded-rectangle skeleton. Strokes are broadly even, with minimal modulation and sturdy joins that keep counters open but compact. Curved letters (C, G, O, Q) read as wide, boxy ovals, while straights (E, F, H, I, L, T) remain blunt and stable with flat terminals. The lowercase is robust and simplified, with single-storey forms and short, sturdy extenders; the numerals follow the same block-rounded logic for consistent color in text.
Best suited to headlines and short phrases where its bold, rounded shapes can carry personality and weight. It works well for branding and packaging that want a modern, friendly presence, and for signage or UI moments where quick recognition and strong emphasis are needed.
The overall tone is approachable and confident, combining a friendly softness with strong visual punch. Its rounded geometry feels contemporary and slightly playful, while the mass and dense rhythm give it an assertive, attention-grabbing voice.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a soft-edged, geometric voice—combining rounded-rectangle construction with sturdy proportions for clear, contemporary display typography.
The design maintains a consistent rounded-corner logic across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing an even, poster-like texture. Counters and apertures are relatively tight for the weight, which boosts impact at display sizes while preserving clear silhouettes.
