A heavy, rounded sans with superelliptical construction and consistently thick strokes. Curves resolve into broad, squared-off terminals, giving many letters a rounded-rectangle silhouette rather than circular bowls. Counters are compact and often vertically oriented, and joins stay smooth and blunt, producing a sturdy, poster-like texture. The lowercase shows simplified, geometric forms (single-storey a and g), while uppercase shapes keep wide shoulders and softened corners; numerals follow the same rounded, blocky logic.
Best suited to display roles where weight and shape can carry the message—headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks. It can work for short subheads or callouts, but the compact counters and heavy texture may feel crowded in long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a distinctly retro, sign-painter-meets-1970s display feel. Its chunky shapes and softened corners read as cheerful and informal, emphasizing personality over neutrality while staying clean and structured.
The design appears intended to deliver strong visual presence with a friendly, geometric voice—combining clean sans structure with superelliptical rounding for a memorable, approachable display style.
The rhythm is dense and even due to large x-height and tight internal spaces, which boosts impact at headline sizes. Rounded terminals and squared curves create a distinctive “soft-rectangular” personality that remains consistent across letters and figures.
