A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners. Curves read as superelliptical rather than purely circular, giving counters and bowls a squarish, engineered feel. Strokes are broadly uniform with flat, blunt terminals, tight apertures, and sturdy joins; diagonals are thick and stable, and overall spacing feels dense and poster-forward. The lowercase is simple and robust, with single-storey forms and generous dots, while figures are wide and punchy with squared counters.
Best suited for headlines, short copy, and large-scale applications where bold, compact letterforms can do the work—posters, signage, logos, packaging, and apparel graphics. It also fits UI labels and badges when a strong, friendly presence is needed, though the dense texture favors larger sizes.
The font projects an upbeat, confident tone—strong and attention-grabbing without feeling sharp or aggressive. Its rounded geometry and chunky proportions suggest a friendly, slightly retro voice that fits energetic, casual messaging.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact and solidity through rounded-rectangle geometry, creating a distinctive, contemporary display look that remains approachable. The focus is on consistency and punchy silhouette clarity rather than delicate detail.
The design’s squarish counters and narrow openings help create a solid texture in lines of text, which can feel compact at smaller sizes but looks powerful at display sizes. The overall rhythm is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, reinforcing a cohesive, geometric personality.
