A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms, with consistently softened corners and broad, even strokes. Curves are squarish rather than circular, giving letters like O, C, and G a compact, capsule-like silhouette. Counters are generous and open for the weight, while terminals tend to be flat or softly squared, producing a crisp, engineered rhythm. Lowercase forms stay simple and robust (single-storey a and g), and the numerals echo the same rounded-rect geometry for a unified texture in headlines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, and brand marks where its chunky geometry can carry personality. It also works well for packaging and signage, especially when you want a bold, friendly, contemporary voice with strong shape recognition at a distance.
The overall tone is approachable and upbeat, with a distinctly contemporary, screen-forward feel. Its soft corners and compact curves read friendly and playful, while the disciplined geometry keeps it feeling modern and purposeful rather than casual or hand-drawn.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence with a soft-edged, geometric character—combining the readability of a straightforward sans with a distinctive superellipse construction for memorable branding and display use.
The design creates a strong “ink trap–free” solidity: joins and corners stay clean and full at this weight, and the squarish bowls give text a blocky, high-impact color. Round letters appear slightly condensed by the superellipse construction, which can make words look tightly packaged and punchy.
