A heavy, rounded sans with superelliptical construction: curves resolve into squarish bowls and counters, and corners are consistently softened rather than fully circular. Strokes are thick and steady, with compact apertures and small, rounded counters that keep the texture dense in running text. Terminals are blunt and confidently finished, while diagonals (e.g., in K, N, V, W, X) stay sturdy and slightly simplified to match the overall block-like geometry. The lowercase is straightforward and sturdy, with single-storey forms and a robust dot on i/j, and the numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display work such as headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and short, high-impact messaging. It can work for brief blocks of text when set large with extra spacing, where its dense texture becomes a deliberate graphic choice.
The tone is bold and approachable, mixing a toy-like softness with poster-level impact. Its rounded, squarish forms give a nostalgic, sign-painting and mid-century display feel, while the dense color adds confidence and immediacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a friendly, rounded silhouette, using superelliptical geometry to create a distinctive, contemporary-retro voice. It prioritizes bold presence and recognizability over open counters and delicate detail.
In longer settings, the tight internal spaces and compact apertures create a strong, dark typographic color that reads best with generous tracking and line spacing. The distinctive squircle-like bowls are a defining visual motif across letters and figures, helping the font feel cohesive even at large sizes.
