A heavy, rounded sans with broad, superellipse-like bowls and softly squared curves throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with compact counters and a solid, blocky rhythm that keeps silhouettes simple and highly legible at display sizes. Terminals are clean and blunt, and joins stay sturdy, giving letters a dense, poster-ready presence. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g) and a generally compact, sturdy construction, while the numerals follow the same weighty, rounded-rect geometry.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and signage where a dense, high-impact voice is desirable. It can work for short UI labels or calls-to-action when strong emphasis is needed, but the heavy weight and tight counters are most comfortable in larger sizes and brief text runs.
The overall tone is friendly and approachable while still feeling loud and assertive. Its soft-cornered shapes read contemporary and playful rather than formal, making it feel energetic and welcoming in short, attention-grabbing lines.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a soft, contemporary feel—combining robust weight with rounded superellipse construction to stay friendly while remaining unmistakably bold and readable.
Curves often resolve into slightly flattened arcs rather than perfect circles, reinforcing a “rounded-rectangle” skeleton. The texture is dark and consistent, with tight apertures and counters that favor impact over airy openness.
