A heavy, rounded sans with superelliptical construction: straight stems and counters resolve into softened corners, giving letters a squared-yet-pillowy silhouette. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense color and strong presence. The proportions feel roomy and slightly extended horizontally, with broad bowls and wide apertures kept in check by compact, rounded terminals. Curves (C, G, O, S, 8) read as rounded rectangles rather than perfect circles, and joins are smooth and blunt, maintaining an even rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, display copy, logos, packaging, and signage where its dense color and rounded shapes can carry personality. It can work for brief blocks of text at larger sizes, especially when a friendly, attention-grabbing tone is desired.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a distinctly chunky, poster-like confidence. Its rounded geometry lends a playful, slightly retro flavor that feels casual rather than technical, emphasizing friendliness and impact over refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with softened, superellipse-based forms—combining sturdy, geometric clarity with approachable rounded corners for bold display typography.
In text, the weight creates a strong, continuous texture; interior counters and small features (like the dots on i/j) remain sturdy and simple. The lowercase forms keep a straightforward, print-like structure, supporting quick recognition while preserving the font’s soft, blocky personality.
