A heavy, rounded sans built from squarish superellipse forms with consistently softened corners. Strokes are thick and even, with compact counters and short, sturdy terminals that keep interior openings small but legible at display sizes. Curves tend to resolve into rounded-rectangle geometry rather than perfect circles, giving letters like O, D, and U a boxy, cushioned feel. The lowercase is similarly constructed, with single-storey a and g, dot elements rendered as rounded squares, and numerals that echo the same rounded, modular structure.
Best suited to headlines and branding where a soft, chunky presence is desired—logos, posters, packaging, and bold signage. It also works for short UI labels or badges when you want a friendly, high-contrast-to-background stamp, but it will be most effective at larger sizes where counters can breathe.
The overall tone is friendly and bold with a playful, slightly retro-futurist character. Its cushioned geometry reads approachable and toy-like, while the squared curves and dense weight add a techy, arcade-signage energy.
The font appears designed to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a confident display voice, prioritizing impact, approachability, and a cohesive modular system across letters and figures.
The design favors sturdy silhouettes and tight internal spaces, creating strong word shapes and high impact in short lines. The rhythm is broad and stable, with rounded joins and minimal stroke modulation contributing to a solid, monolithic texture in paragraphs.
