A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly chamfered corners throughout. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense letterforms and tight internal counters, especially in round characters like O, Q, and e. The curves read as squarish superellipses rather than true circles, while terminals tend to flatten and broaden, giving the alphabet a sturdy, poster-like texture. Lowercase forms are simple and stout, with a single-storey a and g, a short-armed t, and dot elements that appear large and circular; figures are similarly blocky and weighty with strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited for headlines and short, high-impact copy where its dense weight and rounded-block shapes can carry personality—posters, packaging, bold branding moments, signage, and playful editorial titling. It can work in subheads, but extended text will feel heavy due to the compact counters and strong color.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, with a slightly comic, retro display energy. Its soft-corner geometry and chunky massing feel friendly and informal while still reading assertive and attention-grabbing.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a friendly, softened geometry—combining a sturdy, blocky build with rounded-rectangle curves to create a distinctive, display-forward voice.
Spacing and rhythm favor strong silhouettes over airy readability; many letters have narrow apertures and compact counters, which increases ink coverage and visual impact at larger sizes. The mix of squarish rounds and flattened terminals creates a consistent, intentionally “puffy” texture across both caps and lowercase.
