A heavy, soft-cornered sans with a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle construction and broad, flat terminals. Strokes are thick and even-feeling, with compact inner counters and minimal apertures that create dense, high-ink letterforms. Curves are controlled and squarish rather than circular, while joins and corners stay smooth, giving the overall silhouette a cushioned, sculpted look. The numerals and capitals share the same wide, poster-like proportions, and the lowercase maintains a sturdy, simplified structure with short extenders and clear, chunky stems.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, large headlines, product packaging, logos, and title treatments where impact and personality are prioritized. It can also work for short, punchy callouts in UI or advertising when set with generous spacing and adequate size.
The tone is bold and friendly, with a toy-like, headline-forward confidence. Its rounded geometry reads humorous and approachable rather than technical, leaning into a retro display feel that suits attention-grabbing messages.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a friendly, rounded-rectangular voice—combining sturdy, simplified forms with softened geometry to create a distinctive, high-impact display sans.
Because counters are tight and apertures are small, the font’s strongest presence is at larger sizes where the blocky shapes and rounded corners can read cleanly. The overall rhythm is driven by large masses of black with restrained interior space, producing a strong, cohesive texture in lines of text.
