A heavy, rounded sans with superelliptical construction and a distinctly blocky silhouette. Strokes are uniformly thick with low contrast, and corners are broadly filleted rather than sharply cut. Letterforms lean on squared bowls and rounded-rectangle counters, producing compact interior spaces and a sturdy, even texture in words. The overall geometry feels engineered and consistent, with wide terminals, simplified joints, and a tight, punchy rhythm that remains legible at larger sizes.
Best suited to display contexts where strong shape and instant impact are needed—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, labels, and short callouts. It also works well for signage and UI-style badges where a soft, friendly bold is desirable, but its compact counters suggest avoiding very small sizes or dense paragraphs.
The font projects a warm, approachable tone with a buoyant, cartoonish weight. Its chunky forms and softened corners evoke mid-century display lettering and packaging, giving it a fun, slightly retro energy without becoming overly decorative. The dense black presence reads confident and attention-grabbing.
Designed to deliver maximum visual weight with a soft, geometric friendliness. The superellipse-based construction and simplified detailing prioritize bold recognition and a consistent, modern-retro flavor in short, high-visibility text.
Curves tend to resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes, which gives bowls like O, D, and P a squarer feel than a purely circular rounded sans. The numerals match the same soft-rectangle logic and bold presence, supporting cohesive headline and badge-style settings.
