A heavy, rounded sans with squarish superellipse construction and generous corner radii throughout. Strokes are consistently thick, with compact interior counters and short apertures that create a dense, poster-like color on the page. Curves resolve into flattened arcs and rounded rectangles (notably in O, C, G, and the lowercase bowls), while straight-sided forms keep a strong vertical rhythm. Numerals and punctuation follow the same rounded-rect geometry, with simplified, sturdy silhouettes that prioritize impact over delicacy.
Best suited to bold headlines, brand marks, packaging, labels, and signage where strong presence and a rounded, approachable edge are desired. It also works well for short UI labels or badges when you want a compact, high-impact look, but is less ideal for extended small-size reading due to dense counters and tight apertures.
The overall tone is confident and punchy, with a friendly softness from the rounded corners. It reads as utilitarian and modern, leaning toward sporty and slightly retro display lettering rather than neutral text typography.
The letterforms appear intended to combine maximum impact with a softened, contemporary feel by using rounded-rectangle geometry and consistent heavy strokes. The construction suggests a focus on clear silhouettes and durable shapes for branding and display settings.
The design’s tight openings and compact counters increase visual weight in longer lines, so spacing and size choice will strongly affect readability. Uppercase forms feel particularly strong and sign-like, while lowercase maintains the same blocky, rounded personality for cohesive headlines.
