A heavy, rounded sans with a superellipse construction: broad, squared-off curves and softened corners create a cushiony silhouette. Strokes are thick and assertive, with tight apertures and compact internal counters that emphasize mass over delicacy. The design is largely monoline in feel, but with noticeable optical modulation where curves meet flats, producing a crisp, poster-like color. Forms are wide and stable, with short extenders, rounded terminals, and a geometric rhythm that favors horizontal breadth and low visual sparkle.
Best suited to headlines, logos, packaging, and short display copy where its rounded mass and geometric character can be appreciated. It works well for signage and branding that wants a friendly, retro-leaning impact, and is less ideal for long passages at small sizes due to its dense texture and narrow apertures.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, leaning into a retro display attitude that feels approachable rather than severe. Its rounded, blocky shapes read as playful and slightly quirky, giving headlines a confident, “fun signage” energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a soft-edged, geometric voice—combining billboard-level weight with rounded, superellipse forms for an approachable, vintage-tinged display look.
Round letters like O/Q and numerals like 0/8/9 show flattened, rounded-rectangle bowls that reinforce the superellipse theme. The lowercase includes a single-storey a and g, and many letters feature generous rounding at joins, which keeps the texture smooth even at large sizes. Because the counters are tight and the strokes are heavy, the font’s color becomes dense quickly as text size decreases.
