A heavy, soft-cornered sans with forms built from rounded rectangles and superelliptical curves. Strokes are consistently thick with smooth joins and minimal modulation, producing compact inner counters and a strong, blocky silhouette. Terminals are broadly rounded, curves are generously inflated, and several letters show slightly irregular widths that add a bouncy rhythm. Uppercase shapes are sturdy and simplified, while lowercase forms stay compact and wide, keeping word shapes dense and highly graphic.
Best suited to display settings where a bold, friendly presence is needed: headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and splashy UI moments. It also works well for short bursts of text such as labels, badges, and social graphics, where its dense, rounded forms create strong visual impact.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a cartoonish, retro-leaning warmth. Its inflated geometry and softened corners make it feel friendly rather than technical, delivering a confident, attention-grabbing voice suited to casual or fun-forward messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with softened geometry, pairing a geometric, superelliptical construction with a lively, slightly uneven rhythm. It prioritizes personality and sign-like readability over fine detail, aiming for a modern-retro, approachable display voice.
The tight counters and low apertures in letters like e, a, and s increase the “solid” look, especially at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic and read as bold, poster-like figures with minimal delicacy.
