A heavy, rounded-rectangle sans with soft superelliptical corners and largely uniform stroke weight. Letters are built from chunky blocks with slightly irregular, hand-cut edges that keep the geometry from feeling sterile. Counters are compact and squarish, apertures tend to be tight, and joins are blunt, producing strong silhouettes and high color on the page. Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy, with short extenders and small, square-ish i dots; numerals follow the same boxy, rounded logic for a cohesive texture.
Best suited for display roles such as posters, large headlines, packaging, brand marks, and short promotional copy where strong silhouettes and a friendly, chunky presence are desirable. It can also work for labels, stickers, and playful editorial callouts when set with generous spacing and moderate line lengths.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, with a playful, cartoonish sturdiness. Its softened corners and chunky rhythm evoke retro display lettering and game/toy packaging, reading as confident and fun rather than formal or delicate.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a soft geometric voice—combining rounded-rectangle construction with a subtly hand-cut texture to feel both robust and characterful in branding and display settings.
The dense, closed-in interiors and heavy joins make it most comfortable at larger sizes, where the distinctive block shapes and rounded corners stay clear. The slightly uneven edge treatment adds personality and a hand-made feel while maintaining consistent overall proportions.
