A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a distinctly blocky, superellipse construction. Curves read as rounded rectangles rather than true circles, with soft corner transitions and mostly uniform stroke weight. Counters are small and tight in letters like O, P, and e, and joins are stout, giving the face a dense, compact texture in text. Terminals are blunt and squared-off, and diagonal forms (V, W, X, Y, Z) are thick and stable, reinforcing an overall solid, sculpted silhouette.
Best used for headlines, posters, packaging, and logo wordmarks where maximum visual weight and rounded character are desired. It performs especially well at large sizes for punchy statements and branding, and can be effective for short bursts of text such as social graphics, labels, and promotional copy.
The tone is bold and playful, with a friendly softness that keeps its mass from feeling aggressive. Its rounded geometry and tight counters evoke a retro sign-painting and cartoon-title energy, projecting confidence and immediacy. In longer lines it feels loud and attention-grabbing, suited to expressive, headline-driven typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly legible, high-impact display voice built from soft, rounded-rectangular shapes. It prioritizes bold silhouettes, compact counters, and sturdy joins to maintain clarity and personality in attention-focused typography.
The lowercase shows simplified, sturdy forms with minimal detailing (notably in a, e, and s), supporting quick recognition at large sizes. Numerals are similarly chunky and rounded, matching the letterforms for consistent impact in display settings.
