A heavy, rounded sans with superellipse-inspired bowls and softly squared corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a dense, poster-like texture. Counters are compact and somewhat closed at display sizes, while apertures stay simple and sturdy. Terminals tend to finish flat with rounded edges, and joins are smooth, giving the overall silhouette a blocky-yet-friendly feel. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short extenders, reinforcing a compact, efficient rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, short messaging, and bold branding where strong impact and friendly presence are needed—posters, packaging, storefront graphics, and logo wordmarks. It can work for brief subheads or callouts, but long passages may need larger sizes or added spacing due to the compact counters.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, with a friendly softness that keeps the weight from feeling aggressive. Its chunky geometry evokes a contemporary-retro sensibility—confident and attention-getting, but still approachable and informal.
Designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a warm, rounded geometric voice. The intent appears to balance blunt, blocky massing with softened corners and smooth curves, creating a display-forward sans that feels modern, sturdy, and approachable.
Round characters like C, O, and G lean toward rounded-rectangle forms rather than perfect circles, creating a distinctive, squarish softness. In the samples, the dense color and tight interior spaces suggest it performs best when given generous size and breathing room (or slightly looser tracking) to preserve clarity.
