A heavy, rounded sans with a superellipse construction: bowls and terminals feel like rounded rectangles with smooth, consistent curvature. Strokes are broadly even, with minimal modulation and sturdy joins that keep the shapes compact and dense. Apertures are generally tight and counters are relatively small, giving letters a solid, poster-like presence. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably the a and g) and a straightforward, vertical rhythm, while numerals follow the same chunky, softly squared logic.
Best suited to headlines and short text where impact and friendliness are desired—branding, packaging, posters, social graphics, and bold UI labels. It can also work for signage and wayfinding when sizes are large enough to preserve interior clarity.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, combining a friendly softness at the corners with an assertive, attention-grabbing silhouette. It reads as contemporary and upbeat, leaning more toward graphic impact than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a soft-edged, geometric voice—prioritizing strong silhouettes, easy recognition, and a contemporary, approachable feel for display-led typography.
Round letters like O and Q appear slightly squarish in their outer contour, reinforcing the superellipse feel; the Q’s tail is short and integrated. The W is broad and undulating with rounded inner joins, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) maintain the same thick, cushioned character. In text, the dense counters and generous weight create strong color and clear word-shapes at display sizes.
