A heavy, rounded sans with superelliptical geometry and a compact, blocklike build. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing sturdy silhouettes and strong color on the page. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and terminals, while joins stay clean and simplified. Spacing appears tight-to-moderate with broad counters that keep forms open at large sizes; lowercase shows a tall x-height and short extenders for a dense, efficient rhythm.
Best suited for headlines and display applications where a strong, rounded voice is needed—posters, packaging, bold branding marks, and short UI or signage labels. The dense, high-impact texture also works well for emphasis text and attention-grabbing calls to action.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, combining a friendly softness from the rounded corners with an assertive, no-nonsense weight. It reads contemporary and functional, with a slightly playful edge that comes from the inflated, cushiony shapes rather than any decorative styling.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, geometric voice: thick strokes for presence, rounded-superellipse shaping for softness, and compact proportions for efficient, modern blocks of text in display settings.
Round letters (O/C/G/Q) lean toward squarish ovals, reinforcing a superellipse theme across the set. Several forms use blunt, squared terminals and straightforward construction, which helps maintain clarity in heavy weight. Numerals are equally robust and geometric, matching the uppercase texture for uniform headline impact.
