A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are broadly uniform, with minimal modulation and a sturdy, low-detail finish that favors solid silhouettes over delicacy. Bowls and counters tend to be compact and squarish, giving letters a dense, ink-trap-free presence; curves transition into straight segments with a superellipse-like smoothness. Terminals are blunt and clean, and the overall rhythm is tight and assertive, with particularly strong horizontal weight in forms like E, F, and T and wide, stable arches in letters like U and n.
This font is well suited to headlines and short display copy where mass and clarity matter—posters, packaging, labels, and bold UI or in-app moments. Its compact counters and heavy strokes make it most effective at medium to large sizes, especially in branding or signage contexts where quick recognition is important.
The tone is bold and approachable, pairing a friendly rounded geometry with an unapologetically heavy footprint. It feels energetic and a bit retro, like signage and display typography built to be seen quickly and remembered. The softened corners keep it from feeling aggressive, while the dense forms add confidence and impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a friendly, geometric voice—using rounded-rectangle forms and consistent stroke weight to create a cohesive, highly legible display texture. The simplified construction suggests an emphasis on bold branding and attention-grabbing titling rather than nuanced text setting.
The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with short extenders and simplified joins that keep word shapes chunky and consistent. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, producing clear, poster-ready figures that match the letterforms closely in weight and presence.
