A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly blunted terminals throughout. Strokes stay largely even, with gently irregular contours that keep the shapes from feeling purely geometric. Counters are tight and squarish, joins are sturdy, and curves read as superelliptical rather than circular. Overall spacing is slightly condensed, producing a dense, high-impact texture in words while remaining legible at display sizes.
Best suited to short headlines, posters, packaging, and bold branding moments where a friendly but forceful voice is needed. It can work for signage and social graphics thanks to its compact shapes and strong silhouette, and it’s most effective when given generous size and spacing to avoid crowding in longer passages.
The letterforms project a warm, approachable confidence with a slightly quirky, handmade energy. Its stout proportions and softened corners give it a kid-friendly, upbeat tone that can also lean retro and sign-like when set large.
The design appears intended to blend sturdy, superelliptical geometry with a touch of organic irregularity, creating a bold display sans that feels approachable rather than rigid. It prioritizes immediate impact and clear silhouettes, with softened corners and tight counters to maintain a cohesive, chunky texture.
Distinctive details include a simple, vertical i/j with round-ish dots, a single-storey a and g, and numerals that share the same chunky, rounded-rect logic. The uppercase is assertive and uniform, while the lowercase adds personality through subtle wobble and varied interior openings, giving text a lively rhythm.
