A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly blunted corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing a dense, poster-like color. Counters tend to be tight and squarish, terminals are flat and sturdy, and curves resolve into superellipse-style rounds rather than perfect circles. Proportions read broad and stable, with a tall x-height and compact interior spaces that keep lowercase forms bold and assertive.
Best suited for headlines, display typography, and branding where strong silhouette and immediate presence are desired. It works well on posters, packaging, labels, and logo wordmarks, especially when you want bold readability with a friendly, rounded-square personality.
The overall tone is confident and approachable, with a distinctly playful, retro-leaning heft. Its rounded squareness feels friendly and cartoon-adjacent while still staying clean and structured, giving it a high-impact but non-aggressive voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact, superellipse-driven geometry that stays approachable. It prioritizes strong shapes, uniform stroke weight, and a cohesive chunky rhythm for attention-grabbing display use.
At text sizes the tight apertures and small counters can visually close up, so spacing and size choice matter. Numerals and capitals share the same blocky, softened geometry, creating a cohesive, rhythmic texture in headings and short lines.
