A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves throughout. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, creating dense counters and a strong, poster-like color on the page. Terminals are blunt and gently rounded, and many curves feel slightly superelliptical rather than perfectly circular, giving the alphabet a cushioned, blocky character. The overall rhythm is tight and energetic, with small counters and a sturdy, condensed stance that keeps lines of text visually compact.
Best suited for headlines, short copy, and display settings where a bold, friendly voice is desired—such as packaging, playful branding, posters, and logo work. It can also work for punchy labels or section headers, especially when ample size and spacing are available to preserve clarity.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, leaning toward a cartoonish, mid-century display feel rather than a neutral UI voice. Its chunky softness reads as friendly and informal, while the strong weight adds confidence and impact. The slight quirk in proportions and curvature gives it personality without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a soft, approachable geometry—combining condensed, space-efficient forms with rounded-rectangle curves for a distinctive, modern-retro display presence.
In the sample text, the heavy weight and tight internal spaces make it most effective at larger sizes, where the rounded corners and superelliptical curves remain clear. Numerals share the same compact, thick construction, supporting a cohesive headline system when mixing letters and figures.
