A heavy, soft-cornered sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like geometry. Strokes are thick and even, with broad proportions, large bowls, and compact internal counters that create a strong, poster-like silhouette. Curves are smooth and cushiony rather than circular, and terminals are blunt with consistent rounding. The lowercase maintains clear, simple construction with single-storey forms where visible, while figures are sturdy and wide with a straightforward, utilitarian rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, logos, packaging, and signage where a thick, soft-edged voice is desired. It performs well in short-to-medium text bursts for advertising or UI feature moments, but its dense weight and tight counters suggest avoiding long body copy at small sizes.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, leaning toward a playful, upbeat modern-retro feel. Its cushioned geometry and dense color give it a friendly confidence that reads as energetic rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, contemporary softness—combining wide, robust letterforms with rounded-rectangle geometry to produce a distinctive, highly legible display voice.
Spacing appears generous enough to keep the heavy shapes from clogging, though counters remain relatively tight in letters like a, e, s, and 8. The design favors strong blocks of black with minimal detail, making it especially effective at larger sizes where the rounded corners and superelliptical curves are most apparent.
