A heavy, rounded sans with a superellipse construction: straight stems and bowls resolve into softly squared corners rather than perfect circles. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and a compact, blocky silhouette. Terminals are broadly rounded, joins are smooth and slightly inflated, and curves favor squarish arcs that keep letters stable and upright. The overall rhythm is tight and punchy, with simplified shapes that read clearly at large sizes.
Best suited to display roles where its mass and rounded geometry can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand wordmarks. It can also work well for short UI labels or wayfinding where a friendly, high-impact voice is needed, but its tight counters and heavy color may feel dense in long text.
The tone is warm and informal, combining a toy-like softness with the confidence of big, solid letterforms. Its rounded rectangles and compact counters give it a cheerful, slightly nostalgic feel that can suggest mid-century display signage or playful contemporary branding.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual impact with a friendly, softened edge—using superellipse forms to balance geometric order with approachable warmth. It emphasizes uniform thickness and simplified, rounded constructions to create a cohesive, attention-grabbing texture.
Round letters like O/Q and bowls in B/D/P lean toward squarish geometry, which helps maintain consistent texture across lines. The lowercase is similarly chunky, with single-storey forms and simple constructions that prioritize bold clarity over fine detail. Numerals match the same soft, sturdy shapes and sit comfortably alongside the letters in weight and presence.
