A compact, rounded display sans with a superelliptical construction: bowls and counters read as softened rectangles, and terminals end in blunt, squared-off cuts. Strokes are consistently heavy with a largely even thickness, while joins and inside corners are noticeably rounded, giving letters a molded, rubber-stamp feel. Proportions are condensed with tall caps and a low x-height, and several glyphs show deliberate idiosyncrasies (looped descenders, curled tails, and simplified, geometric numerals) that create a lively, non-neutral rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where its rounded, condensed shapes can read as a recognizable voice. It also works well for short UI labels, stickers, and merchandise graphics when a friendly retro tone is desired, but is less comfortable for long-form reading due to its compact counters and pronounced personality.
The tone is upbeat and characterful, balancing mid-century sign-painting charm with a playful, cartoon-like friendliness. Its rounded geometry and compact spacing make it feel approachable and slightly mischievous rather than corporate or technical.
The font appears designed to deliver a distinctive, retro-leaning display voice using superellipse-based geometry and softened corners, prioritizing strong silhouette recognition and charm over typographic neutrality.
The design relies on strong silhouettes and distinctive lowercase forms, so lettershape personality remains evident even at larger text sizes. Because many counters are tight and forms are compact, the font visually densifies quickly as size decreases, reinforcing its display-oriented character.
