A heavy, rounded sans with broad, compact proportions and a distinctly squared-off “soft rectangle” construction. Corners are generously filleted and terminals are blunt, producing a solid, gummy silhouette with minimal stroke modulation. Counters tend to be small and rounded-rectangular, while joins stay clean and sturdy, giving the alphabet a consistent, blocky rhythm. Uppercase forms are wide and stable; lowercase is large and simple with short extenders, supporting dense, headline-style settings. Numerals match the same softened geometry, with the 1 built from a simple vertical stem and the 2/3 drawn as stacked, rounded segments.
Best suited to display work such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where a friendly, high-impact voice is needed. It also fits playful tech, games, and UI-style graphics when used at larger sizes, and can serve as a strong label or sticker-style type in short bursts.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a toy-like softness that reads as confident rather than delicate. Its rounded rectangles and tightly packed counters add a slightly futuristic, game/UI flavor, while the chunky weight also evokes retro signage and poster lettering.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a softened, approachable geometry—combining blocky, rounded-rectangle construction with compact counters to create a distinctive, modern display sans that remains friendly and easy to parse in large text.
At smaller sizes the small counters and tight internal spaces can begin to fill in, so the design visually prefers larger settings where the rounded corners and superelliptical geometry are most apparent. The uniform heft and minimal detailing keep word shapes bold and highly graphic, with clear emphasis on silhouette over fine interior detail.
