A heavy, block-based sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing strong, dark letterforms and compact internal counters. Round letters like O, C, and G read as superelliptical shapes, while straighter forms (E, F, H, N) keep broad, flat terminals. The lowercase is sturdy and wide-set, with single-storey a and g, a short, simple t, and dots on i/j rendered as solid circles; numerals are equally robust with large, simplified bowls and tight apertures.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact text where its dense weight and rounded geometry read clearly. It works well for branding, packaging, and signage that aims for a friendly, retro-leaning graphic voice, and can also support bold UI labels where space is limited.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, combining a toy-like softness with a sturdy, utilitarian presence. Its rounded geometry gives it a friendly, upbeat feel, while the dense weight and compact counters add a confident, poster-ready punch.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a cohesive rounded-rect geometry, prioritizing strong shapes, tight counters, and an approachable character for display-oriented typography.
The design favors strong silhouettes and uniform rhythm over fine detail, which helps it hold together at display sizes. Some glyphs show intentionally tightened openings (notably in S, 3, 5, and 9) that reinforce the chunky, graphic look.
