A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Curves are squarish and superelliptic rather than purely circular, producing broad bowls and sturdy counters (notably in O, o, 8, and 9). Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation, and many terminals end in flat, slightly rounded cuts. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, wide, blocky shoulders (m, n, h), and a short, dense rhythm that reads as tightly packed even at larger sizes. Numerals are bold and geometric, with simplified interiors and strong, poster-oriented silhouettes.
Best suited to display roles such as posters, bold headlines, packaging, and punchy brand marks where its chunky silhouettes and rounded-square curves can carry personality. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when set large enough and with sufficient spacing to avoid a overly dense texture.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, with a toy-like, softened geometry that feels energetic rather than severe. Its rounded squareness suggests mid-century and pop signage cues, giving it a confident, lighthearted personality that stays legible through sheer mass and clear silhouettes.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, geometric voice—combining thick, uniform strokes with rounded-rectangle curves to create a distinctive, highly legible display texture. Its shapes prioritize strong silhouettes and a cohesive, softened geometry for attention-grabbing typography.
The typeface maintains a consistent superelliptic logic across rounds and joins, which helps headings feel cohesive. Some letters lean on distinctive, slightly compressed internal spaces, making it most comfortable when set with generous tracking or at display sizes where the dense texture becomes a feature.
