A heavy, soft-cornered sans with forms built from rounded rectangles and superellipse-like curves. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal contrast and broadly rounded terminals. Counters tend to be squarish and open, and curves transition smoothly into straights, giving letters a slightly condensed, blocky rhythm. The uppercase is compact and sturdy, while the lowercase maintains simple, geometric construction with single-storey shapes where visible (notably the “a”). Figures are robust and rounded, matching the overall rectangular-soft geometry.
Best suited to headlines, logos, packaging, and short statements where a strong, friendly presence is needed. It can also work for signage and UI accents at larger sizes thanks to its open, squared counters and straightforward letter construction.
The overall tone is warm and confident, with a cheerful, slightly retro industrial feel. Its rounded-square structure reads as friendly and modern at the same time, leaning toward playful clarity rather than strict, technical neutrality.
The design appears intended to blend geometric sturdiness with softened edges, creating a high-impact sans that feels approachable. Its rounded-rectangle system and consistent stroke weight emphasize brandability and instant recognition in display contexts.
Spacing and shapes suggest a display-oriented build: wide, dark letterforms with soft corners that keep the texture from feeling harsh. The “Q” tail is short and contained, and the numerals share the same squarish rounding, supporting consistent branding and headline use.
