A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and counters, giving letters a sturdy, blocky silhouette with a smooth, cushion-like finish rather than sharp terminals. Stroke endings are generally flat with subtly rounded joins, and many forms favor broad, simplified geometry over fine detail, producing an even, poster-like rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where impact is the priority: headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and bold signage. It can also work for punchy subheads or captions when generous spacing is available, but its dense weight and compact counters make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is confident and approachable, combining a strong headline presence with a friendly softness. Its squarish roundness and dense color evoke a retro display sensibility—energetic, upbeat, and designed to stand out quickly at a glance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual presence with a soft, approachable edge—using superelliptical geometry to keep forms unified and legible while projecting a distinctly bold, graphic character.
Uppercase forms read particularly monumental and uniform, while lowercase adds personality through single-storey shapes and chunky apertures. The numerals follow the same squarish-rounded logic, maintaining consistent weight and a cohesive, highly graphic texture in continuous text.
