A heavy, soft-cornered sans with a blocky, superellipse geometry and consistently rounded terminals. Curves feel like rounded rectangles rather than perfect circles, giving counters a squarish softness and keeping strokes visually even throughout. The lowercase is compact with short extenders and sturdy joins, while the uppercase reads broad and stable with simplified, geometric construction. Numerals share the same rounded-rectangle logic, producing a cohesive, sign-like rhythm in display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, friendly voice is needed. It also works well for packaging and signage thanks to its sturdy shapes and high visual presence. In longer paragraphs it will read dense, so it’s most effective in short bursts, titles, and callouts.
The overall tone is bold and approachable: friendly rather than formal, with a playful, slightly retro, athletic energy. Its softened corners and chunky proportions communicate warmth and confidence, making it feel at home in casual branding and attention-grabbing headlines.
The font appears intended as a modern display sans that merges strict geometric construction with softened corners to stay approachable. Its consistent, rounded-rectangle forms suggest a focus on strong silhouettes, easy recognition, and a contemporary, brand-forward feel.
The design favors clear silhouettes and consistent weight over fine detail, which helps it hold together in large-scale settings. Round letters (O, C, G) lean toward squarish bowls, and many forms have a built-from-blocks feel that reinforces the geometric, contemporary character.
