A heavy, rounded sans with a squarish superellipse skeleton and consistently softened corners. Strokes are thick and steady with minimal modulation, creating dense black shapes and relatively tight internal counters. Proportions lean broad and sturdy, with short joins and blunt terminals that keep curves from feeling delicate. The lowercase is compact and robust, with a tall x-height and simplified forms that prioritize solidity and clarity at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short copy where maximum impact and friendliness are key. The dense weight and compact counters favor larger sizes, making it a good fit for branding, packaging, labels, and bold signage. In running text or small sizes, the tight apertures may reduce clarity, so it’s most effective as a display face.
The tone is bold and approachable, with a playful, almost toy-like softness coming from the rounded-rectangle construction. It reads as energetic and attention-grabbing rather than formal, suggesting a casual, contemporary-retro voice suited to upbeat messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, modern display presence using rounded-rectangle geometry for a softer, more approachable alternative to conventional heavy grotesques. Its simplified, sturdy forms emphasize immediacy and legibility in bold statements while maintaining a distinctive, cohesive shape language.
Round letters like O and Q stay squarish in their curvature, reinforcing the superellipse feel across the set. Numerals are similarly blocky and friendly, designed to hold their shape in large, high-contrast applications.
