A heavy, rounded sans with a squared-off superellipse construction: corners are broadly softened, counters read as rounded rectangles, and terminals are clean and flat. Strokes maintain an even, monoline feel, producing dense silhouettes and strong typographic color. Proportions are compact with short-looking ascenders/descenders and wide, stable bowls; curved letters like C, O, and S appear built from squarish arcs rather than perfect circles. The uppercase is sturdy and uniform, while the lowercase stays similarly compact with simple, closed forms and minimal modulation.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display typography where impact and clarity are priorities—posters, packaging, storefront or wayfinding-style signage, and bold brand marks. It can also work for UI callouts or labels when a friendly, high-visibility tone is needed, but its dense weight makes it less appropriate for long body text.
The overall tone is confident and approachable, combining a utilitarian, sign-like solidity with a slightly playful softness from the rounded corners. It evokes a retro display sensibility—bold, direct, and friendly—without feeling ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a softened geometric voice: sturdy block forms, consistent stroke weight, and rounded-rectangle geometry that reads clearly at a distance while staying approachable up close.
Figures and punctuation carry the same squared-round logic, giving numerals a chunky, poster-ready presence. The rhythm is tight and high-impact, with large counters and clear interior shapes that keep forms legible despite the weight.
