A heavy, rounded sans built from squarish, superellipse-like bowls and terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and corners are broadly radiused, producing soft, blocky silhouettes. Counters are compact and often rectangular-oval in feel, with tight internal space in letters like a, e, and g. The uppercase reads sturdy and geometric, while the lowercase maintains a compact, single-storey construction with short extenders and a large, dark footprint. Numerals match the same inflated, rounded-rectangle logic for a cohesive, poster-forward texture.
Best suited to display typography where strong presence and immediate legibility are needed—headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks. It also works well for short UI labels or badges when ample size and spacing are available to preserve counter clarity.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, with a toy-like, pop sensibility that leans slightly retro. Its rounded geometry and dense color create an energetic, friendly presence that feels confident rather than formal.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact with a soft-edged, geometric voice—combining dense color with rounded-rectangle structure to feel approachable, contemporary, and attention-grabbing in branding and display contexts.
The design emphasizes mass and stability: rounded joins, blunt terminals, and broad bowls keep the rhythm smooth and uniform. At smaller sizes the tight counters and heavy weight can close up, while at display sizes the distinctive squarish-round geometry becomes a key personality feature.
