A heavy, rounded sans with superelliptic construction: curves resolve into softly squared terminals, and many bowls feel like rounded rectangles rather than true circles. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal contrast, and joins are clean and smooth, giving a solid, monoline presence. Proportions are compact with generous interior counters for the weight, while ascenders and descenders stay relatively controlled, producing a tidy vertical rhythm. The numerals and capitals share the same blocky-round logic, emphasizing stability and a consistent, engineered geometry.
Best suited to headlines and short copy where its bold, rounded geometry can carry personality—logos, packaging, posters, and signage. It can also work for UI labels or titles when a friendly, chunky tone is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes where counters and spacing remain clear.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, mixing a retro display feel with a contemporary, geometric polish. Its chunky forms read as confident and upbeat, with a slightly toy-like softness that keeps it friendly rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly legible, characterful rounded sans that balances geometric rigor with softened corners, providing a distinctive display voice that stays clean and modern.
Round letters show subtly flattened sides and squared-off curvature, which creates a distinctive “soft-rectangular” texture in words. Terminals tend to be rounded and blunt, and the shapes maintain an even, steady color across lines of text at larger sizes.
