A heavy, blocky sans with rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are uniformly thick with soft corner radii, producing squarish bowls and rounded terminals rather than circular geometry. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with single-storey forms (notably a and g) and tight internal counters that read as small, rectangular apertures. Capitals are broad and stable, with simplified joins and minimal modulation, creating an overall even texture and strong silhouette.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand moments. The sturdy, rounded construction also works well for playful product identities, sports or youth-oriented graphics, and large UI labels where a friendly but emphatic voice is needed.
The tone is bold and approachable, with a distinctly playful, retro display feel. Its rounded corners soften the mass, keeping it friendly rather than aggressive, while the squared curves add a sporty, arcade-like confidence. Overall, it communicates impact with a lighthearted personality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with softened edges, combining a strong, rectangular framework with rounded corners for approachability. It emphasizes clear, simple shapes and consistent rhythm, aiming for standout readability at display sizes and a distinct, characterful presence.
The punctuation-like openings (such as the small inner counters in O, e, and the numerals) stay consistent with the squircle logic, helping the set feel cohesive. Diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) are thick and emphatic, and the numerals are wide and sign-like, prioritizing presence over delicacy.
