A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes read largely even in weight, with broad shoulders and squared-off curves that create a superelliptical, blocky rhythm. Counters are tight but cleanly opened, and the overall texture is dense and stable, favoring solid silhouettes over delicate detail. Lowercase forms are simple and robust, with a single-storey “a” and a compact “g,” while numerals follow the same rounded, chunky geometry for strong consistency.
Best suited for headlines, logos, packaging, and short messaging where a strong, friendly display voice is needed. It works well for youth-oriented branding, event graphics, retail signage, and bold UI callouts. For long-form text, it will be most comfortable at generous sizes and with ample spacing to preserve counter clarity.
The font projects a warm, upbeat tone with a bold, poster-like presence. Its rounded, cushiony shapes feel friendly and informal, leaning toward a retro display sensibility rather than a strictly utilitarian voice. The overall impression is confident and energetic, designed to grab attention without feeling aggressive.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver maximum impact with soft, rounded geometry—combining a sturdy, high-ink footprint with approachable shapes. The consistent rounded-rectangle logic across capitals, lowercase, and numerals suggests a focus on cohesive branding and attention-grabbing display typography.
The design emphasizes squarish curves and softened joins, giving letters a stamped, toy-block feel. Wider letters like M/W remain dense and unified, and diagonals (A, V, W, X) keep the same hefty color without appearing sharp. At smaller sizes the tight counters may close up, while at larger sizes the sculpted superellipse shapes become a defining feature.
