A heavy, rounded sans with a compact, block-like build and consistently softened corners. Curves are constructed from broad superellipse-like bowls, giving round letters a squarish, cushioned silhouette rather than perfect circles. Strokes are uniform and dense, with large counters that stay open at display sizes; joins are smooth and terminals are mostly flat with slight rounding. Proportions skew wide and stable, with simple, geometric diagonals and a generally even rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for headlines and short-form copy where its dense weight and rounded geometry can create strong emphasis—posters, packaging, brand marks, and storefront or wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for bold UI labels or section headers when high contrast against the background is available.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, combining a modern, geometric feel with a friendly softness. Its chunky shapes read as energetic and confident, with a slightly playful, poster-like presence that stays clean rather than quirky.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a friendly, contemporary voice—combining geometric construction with softened edges to feel less rigid than a purely square grotesk while remaining clean and highly legible at large sizes.
Uppercase forms lean toward strong rectangular structure (notably in E/F/H) while rounded letters (O/C/G) keep a squircle-like geometry. Lowercase is straightforward and single-storey in appearance where applicable (e.g., a), with sturdy stems and minimal modulation, producing a consistent, impact-forward texture in text lines.
