A heavy, rounded-rectangle sans with broad proportions and tightly controlled interior space. Strokes are thick and consistent, with softened corners and superellipse-like curves that keep bowls and apertures compact. The letters sit firmly on the baseline and read as sturdy blocks, with counters that stay small and often rectangular in character. Lowercase forms are squat and prominent, with short ascenders/descenders relative to the tall x-height, and the overall rhythm is dense and impactful in text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and promotional graphics where weight and width can dominate the layout. It also works well for attention-grabbing labels and playful branding that benefits from dense, rounded letterforms.
The tone is bold and approachable, mixing a retro, poster-like presence with soft, toy-like rounding. It feels confident and loud without becoming sharp or aggressive, giving headlines a fun, friendly punch.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual weight and warmth through rounded, superelliptical geometry and compact counters, creating a strong display voice that remains friendly and legible at large sizes.
The design leans on geometric construction: round letters look more like softened boxes than circles, and joins and terminals maintain a consistent, molded silhouette. Numerals match the heavy, compact style and hold their shape well at display sizes.
