A heavy, soft-cornered sans with squarish, superellipse-like construction that keeps curves broad and corners rounded. Strokes are thick and steady with minimal modulation, and many forms (C, G, O, Q, 0) read as rounded rectangles rather than true circles. Counters are compact and well-contained, terminals are blunted, and joins are smooth, producing a compact, sturdy silhouette. The lowercase maintains a simple, geometric feel with single-storey a and g, a sturdy, short-armed r, and a compact e with a small eye; numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display applications where you want bold, soft geometry and strong presence: branding, logos, packaging, posters, and short UI headings. It also works well for signage and large-format labeling where the rounded, blocky forms stay readable and distinctive.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a playful, slightly retro-digital character that feels at home in contemporary product design. Its softened corners and chunky proportions make it feel friendly rather than austere, while the geometric rhythm adds a subtle tech or display-oriented energy.
The design appears intended to merge geometric, rounded-rectangle construction with a friendly, high-impact voice—prioritizing solid silhouettes, smooth corners, and a cohesive alphanumeric set that feels modern and playful in equal measure.
The wide footprints and large, dark shapes create strong word images and high impact at headline sizes. Rounded corners and enclosed counters help maintain clarity, but the density of the interiors can make fine details feel tighter in long passages, especially where letters cluster (e.g., m/n/u).
