A heavy, rounded sans with soft, inflated strokes and corners that feel carved from rounded rectangles. Curves are simplified into superellipse-like bowls, while joins and terminals stay blunt and friendly rather than sharp. Proportions are compact with tight counters in letters like a, e, and s, and overall spacing reads dense and punchy, especially in text. The numerals follow the same chunky geometry, with smooth curves and sturdy verticals that keep a consistent silhouette across the set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where a bold, friendly voice is needed. It also fits packaging, signage, and logo wordmarks that benefit from rounded, high-impact letterforms. For longer passages, it works most comfortably at larger sizes where the compact counters can breathe.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a slightly retro, hand-cut poster flavor. Its chunky forms and soft corners give it a toy-like friendliness, making it feel informal and expressive rather than serious or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a soft, approachable personality, using rounded superellipse-based construction to stay cohesive and highly recognizable. It prioritizes playful display presence and simple, sturdy shapes over fine detail.
In continuous text, the strong weight and compact counters create a dark, energetic texture that holds attention at display sizes. The design favors clear silhouettes and simplified internal shapes, which helps maintain character even with the tight interior space.
