A heavy, rounded sans with a superellipse skeleton: straight stems and squared bowls are softened by generously rounded corners and flat-ish curves. Forms are built from broad, even strokes with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and a compact, poster-like color on the page. The x-height is prominent, ascenders are sturdy, and many joins and terminals read as blunt, trimmed shapes rather than tapered endings. Overall spacing feels tight and efficient, emphasizing mass and silhouette clarity over delicacy.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where bold silhouettes and quick recognition matter. It can work for short bursts of copy in marketing materials and social graphics, especially when a friendly, impactful voice is desired.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a chunky, cartoon-adjacent confidence that feels more fun than formal. Its rounded-rectangle geometry brings a retro display flavor while staying clean and contemporary, making the voice feel energetic, friendly, and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with softened, approachable shapes—combining sturdy, rectangular construction with rounded corners to create a bold, modern display sans that feels playful rather than aggressive.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, engineered geometry, and the digits match the same blocky, rounded construction for cohesive headlines. The strong weight and compact apertures suggest it’s most effective at larger sizes where internal spaces stay clear.
