A heavy, rounded sans with a superellipse construction: strokes and counters tend toward rounded-rectangle shapes with softly flattened curves rather than true circles. Terminals are blunt and squared-off, and joins feel solid and monoline, giving the letters a chunky, carved-out look. Proportions are slightly condensed in places with compact apertures and mostly closed counters, while spacing and widths vary enough to keep the texture lively. The lowercase is sturdy and simple, with single-storey forms where applicable and square dots on i/j; numerals follow the same blocky, rounded-rect geometry.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where a strong, friendly presence is desired—posters, product packaging, event graphics, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for bold editorial callouts and UI titles, especially when paired with a simpler text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, with a playful, slightly retro sign-lettering energy. Its soft corners keep it friendly, while the dense black shapes make it feel confident and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a soft-edged, geometric flavor—combining the firmness of block letterforms with rounded-rectangle shaping for an approachable, contemporary-retro display voice.
The face produces a strong, even color at display sizes, but the tight apertures and hefty interior shapes can reduce clarity as sizes get smaller. The distinctive, squarish rounding gives it a recognizable voice that reads more expressive than neutral.
