A heavy, compact sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with softened corners and broad, block-like strokes. Curves read as squarish superellipses rather than true circles, giving O/C/G and the bowls of B/P/R a sturdy, inflated feel. Terminals are blunt and mostly vertical/horizontal, while joins and notches (as in K, M, N, and W) are simplified into sharp cut-ins that add graphic texture. The x-height is high with short ascenders/descenders, and counters are tight, making the overall silhouette dense and highly impactful. Numerals are similarly chunky and simplified, with strong top/bottom masses and minimal internal openings.
Best suited to display typography: posters, big headlines, branding marks, packaging panels, and energetic sports or event graphics where mass and clarity matter. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when set large enough to keep the compact counters from filling in.
The tone is bold and upbeat, combining a friendly softness from the rounded corners with a poster-like assertiveness from the dense forms. It feels slightly retro and cartoon-adjacent, with a confident, attention-grabbing rhythm suited to loud, headline-forward communication.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, geometric voice—using rounded-rectangle construction and simplified joins to create a distinctive, high-visibility display sans.
The design relies on negative-space notches and small apertures for differentiation, so spacing and interior openings can feel compact in long passages. Its strongest visual character appears at display sizes where the rounded-rect construction and cut-ins remain clearly legible.
