A heavy, rounded sans with superellipse construction: broad strokes, softened corners, and squared-off curves that read like rounded rectangles rather than circles. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are small, giving the letters a compact, punchy silhouette. Terminals are blunt and consistently rounded, with minimal contrast and a steady rhythm that keeps lines of text uniform and solid. Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy, with a single-storey “a” and “g”, a short-shouldered “r”, and a thick, rounded dot on “i/j”; numerals follow the same blocky, softened geometry.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold branding where a soft but assertive voice is needed. It should work well on packaging, labels, social graphics, and logotypes that benefit from rounded, chunky letterforms and strong presence. For longer text, it’s likely most comfortable at larger sizes where the tight counters stay clear.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, combining a toy-like softness with confident weight. It suggests a retro sign-painter/packaging energy—cheerful, emphatic, and easy to read at a glance—without feeling delicate or formal.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a softened, approachable geometry—trading sharp precision for rounded, modular shapes that feel friendly and durable. The consistent superellipse forms and blunt terminals suggest an intention toward clear, logo-ready silhouettes and confident display typography.
Spacing appears generous enough to prevent the heavy shapes from clogging in display sizes, though the tight counters mean very small settings may feel dense. The uppercase has a stable, poster-like stance, while the lowercase keeps a friendly, contemporary simplicity that supports short passages and headlines.
