A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and steady with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and a strong, blocky silhouette. Curves tend toward superelliptical bowls, while terminals are blunt and rounded, giving consistent, cushiony edges across letters and numerals. Proportions are condensed overall, with a tight internal rhythm that keeps forms sturdy and highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to high-impact display typography such as headlines, posters, packaging, and bold branding marks where its compact width and rounded mass can carry attention. It also works well for short UI labels, stickers, and promotional graphics that benefit from a friendly, assertive voice.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a lively, slightly retro poster feel. Its rounded, chunky shapes read as friendly and informal rather than corporate, making the voice feel energetic and fun.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in a tight horizontal footprint while maintaining a soft, approachable character. Its superelliptical geometry and blunt terminals aim for visual consistency and strong readability in bold display contexts.
The design’s narrow set and tight apertures create strong word-shapes and high impact, but the dense counters suggest it will feel most comfortable with generous tracking and line spacing in longer settings. Numerals share the same rounded, compact logic, keeping a cohesive look in headlines and short UI labels.
