A heavy, rounded sans with soft, squarish curves that feel closer to rounded rectangles than perfect circles. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and a strong, poster-like texture. Terminals are broadly rounded and corners are generously softened, while spacing stays fairly tight, especially in lowercase, creating a compact rhythm. The lowercase shows simple, sturdy constructions (single-storey a and g, round i/j dots), and the numerals are similarly blocky with large masses and rounded joins.
Best suited for headlines, branding marks, packaging, and bold editorial callouts where its rounded, blocky forms can carry personality. It also works well for signage and UI highlights where a friendly, high-impact voice is needed, but it’s less ideal for dense long-form reading due to its heavy color and compact counters.
The overall tone is confident and upbeat, with a friendly, slightly retro warmth. Its chunky geometry reads as playful and approachable rather than technical, making it feel expressive and energetic without relying on sharp angles or delicate detail.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a soft, welcoming feel—using thick strokes and rounded-rectangle geometry to stay bold while avoiding harshness. It emphasizes strong silhouettes and straightforward letterforms to remain legible and characterful in display contexts.
At text sizes the boldness and tight internal spaces can make long passages feel dark and emphatic, while at display sizes the softened corners and superelliptical shapes become a defining visual signature. The uppercase forms present strong, stable silhouettes suited to short, high-impact messages.
