A heavy, rounded sans with a soft superelliptical construction and generously radiused corners. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular-oval, producing a tight, punchy texture, while strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation. Terminals are blunt and smooth, curves are squared-off rather than circular, and the overall silhouette reads as sturdy and sculpted. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and simplified forms, with single-storey a and g and short ascenders/descenders that keep lines visually dense.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding systems that need bold, friendly impact. It performs especially well in logos, product marks, and short callouts where the chunky superelliptical forms can read clearly and carry personality.
The font projects a friendly, approachable confidence with a distinctly playful, poster-like energy. Its chunky shapes and softened geometry evoke a retro, pop-forward tone that feels upbeat and informal rather than technical or reserved.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual weight with softened, approachable geometry—combining sturdy block forms with rounded corners to keep the tone warm. It prioritizes strong silhouette and immediate recognition for display typography.
At larger sizes the rounded-rectangle geometry becomes a defining feature, creating strong, logo-ready silhouettes. In longer text the tight counters and dense rhythm can feel heavy, favoring short phrases and impactful settings over extended reading.
