A heavy, rounded sans with soft superelliptical construction and broadly squared counters. Strokes are thick and even, with generous corner radii and subtly flattened curves that give bowls and stems a cushioned, blocky feel. Terminals are consistently blunt and rounded; joins are smooth, and the overall rhythm is compact with sturdy, wide letterforms and stable verticals.
Best suited to display use where its thick strokes and rounded geometry can carry personality—headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and playful branding systems. It also works well for short UI labels or badges when large enough to preserve interior counters and spacing.
The face feels warm and playful, with a slightly retro, toy-like friendliness. Its chunky silhouettes read as confident and approachable, lending an informal, upbeat tone that suits lighthearted or youthful messaging.
Designed to deliver a friendly, high-impact sans that remains clean and highly legible at display sizes, using rounded, superelliptical shapes to create a soft, modernized block aesthetic.
The uppercase set is especially bold and simplified, while the lowercase maintains the same soft geometry and compact proportions. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, keeping a cohesive, sign-friendly texture when set in strings or headings.
