A very heavy, rounded sans with a superellipse feel: most strokes terminate in softened, squared-off corners and rounded rectangles rather than true circles. Strokes are largely monoline with gentle contrast and broad, compact counters, creating a dense, poster-like color on the page. Curves are smooth and inflated, and the overall rhythm favors wide shoulders and sturdy verticals, with a slightly bouncy, informal finish in joins and terminals.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where its chunky rounded forms can deliver immediate impact. It can also work for short, bold UI labels or signage when a friendly, attention-grabbing voice is needed, but it’s less ideal for small text or dense paragraphs due to its heavy color and compact counters.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, combining a toy-like softness with confident, high-impact weight. Its rounded geometry reads friendly rather than technical, and the chunky silhouettes add a casual retro flavor that feels inviting and energetic.
The design appears intended to provide a modern, high-impact rounded sans that prioritizes warmth and bold visibility. Its superellipse-based construction suggests a focus on smooth, manufactured geometry while keeping an informal, approachable personality for contemporary display typography.
The numerals and uppercase maintain strong, blocky silhouettes with softened corners, while lowercase forms keep the same inflated geometry for consistent texture in continuous text. The bold weight and compact counters make it most comfortable at larger sizes where its rounded details and interior spaces can stay clear.
