A heavy, rounded sans built from squarish superellipse shapes with generously softened corners and a consistent, low-contrast stroke. The forms are slightly slanted, with compact proportions and tight interior counters that read like rounded-rectangle cutouts (notably in B, P, R, 8, and 9). Terminals are blunt and cushioned rather than sharply cut, and the overall rhythm feels bouncy due to irregularities in width and the compressed spacing implied by the narrow set. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, simple i/j with round dots, and an m/w constructed from repeated rounded stems, reinforcing a modular, blocky construction.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and branding marks where its compact, rounded shapes can read as a strong graphic element. It also works well for playful signage, social graphics, and short taglines where the slanted, chunky rhythm adds immediacy and character.
The font projects a friendly, cartoon-leaning tone with a distinct retro display attitude. Its chunky silhouettes and soft corners make it feel approachable and fun, while the forward slant adds motion and a slightly sporty, action-title energy.
The design appears intended as a bold display sans that translates superelliptic, rounded-rectangle geometry into a lively, slightly italicized alphabet. Its goal is strong impact with a soft, friendly edge, prioritizing distinctive silhouettes and an upbeat texture over neutral body-text readability.
At text sizes the dense weight and small counters can darken quickly, so it reads best when given room and used for short bursts. The numerals are especially bold and graphic, matching the alphabet’s rounded-rectangle logic for a cohesive, logo-like feel.
