A heavy, rounded sans with a superellipse construction: strokes end in broad curves and corners are consistently softened into rounded-rectangle shapes. Counters tend toward squarish forms (notably in O/0 and D), with small, neatly carved openings that keep the texture dense and graphic. Joins and terminals are simplified and uniform, producing a stable rhythm and a slightly modular feel, while widths vary by glyph to maintain balance (wider round letters, tighter straight-sided forms). Numerals follow the same blocky, rounded logic, with clean apertures and compact interior spaces.
Best suited to headlines, branding marks, packaging, and short punchy statements where its rounded, chunky shapes can carry personality. It can also work for UI titles, game interfaces, and tech-themed graphics, but extended small-size text may feel dense due to compact counters.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a toy-like softness that still reads as contemporary and digital. Its rounded geometry and chunky mass give it a bold, poster-friendly personality that can feel both retro-futuristic and friendly, depending on color and layout.
The font appears designed to blend geometric clarity with a soft, approachable surface, using superellipse-based shapes to create a distinctive, modern display voice. Its consistent rounding and simplified construction suggest an intent to be highly recognizable and friendly while staying clean and contemporary.
The design emphasizes squircle-like bowls and squared counters rather than pure circles, creating a distinctive “rounded tech” silhouette. Tight inner spaces and broad curves suggest it will look most confident at display sizes where the interior cutouts can breathe.
