A heavy, monoline sans with a rounded-rectangle construction: straights end in smooth radiused terminals and bowls read as soft superellipses rather than true circles. Proportions are compact with relatively small internal counters and sturdy stems, giving the letters a dense, poster-like color on the page. Curves connect with gentle, continuous transitions and minimal modulation, while joins stay clean and simplified for an even rhythm. Numerals follow the same squared-round logic, with open, readable forms and consistent stroke endings.
Best suited to display roles where its dense weight and rounded-rectangular forms can carry personality—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and short-callout signage. It can work for brief UI labels or section headers when a friendly, bold presence is desired, but its compact counters suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a distinctly nostalgic flavor that recalls mid-century signage and playful product typography. Its rounded geometry and chunky weight make it feel friendly and inviting rather than technical or austere.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a strong, contemporary-retro voice through superellipse-based construction and softened terminals, balancing geometric order with an approachable feel. It prioritizes visual impact and consistency across the set, aiming for clear, characterful display typography.
The design leans on rounded-corner geometry across both uppercase and lowercase, creating a consistent, soft-edged texture in words. The lowercase shows simplified, sturdy shapes that prioritize clarity and personality over delicate detail, helping the font maintain impact at display sizes.
