A heavy, rounded sans with a superelliptical construction: strokes feel carved from rounded rectangles, with consistently softened corners and broad, even weight throughout. Curves are smooth and full, terminals are blunt, and internal counters are compact, giving the face a dense, high-impact texture. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short ascenders/descenders, while the caps are squat and substantial; the overall rhythm is steady and geometric rather than calligraphic.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its mass and rounded geometry can carry the layout—headlines, logos and wordmarks, packaging fronts, storefront or wayfinding signage, and bold social graphics. It can work for brief subheads, but the dense counters and overall darkness make it less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a toy-like, poster-friendly confidence. Its rounded geometry reads contemporary yet nostalgic, evoking mid-century display lettering and bold retail signage without feeling sharp or aggressive.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly voice, using rounded-rectangle forms to create a strong silhouette and a cohesive, geometric texture. The emphasis appears to be on display clarity and recognizability in bold applications rather than delicate detail.
Round letters like O, C, and G lean toward squarish circles, reinforcing the superellipse feel; joins and apertures stay relatively closed, which increases darkness in text blocks. Numerals share the same chunky, softened geometry, producing a consistent, billboard-like presence across alphanumerics.
