A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are monoline and dense, with large internal counters that stay open despite the weight. Curves and joints favor superelliptical geometry over true circles, producing a smooth, molded look; terminals are fully rounded and transitions are clean with minimal taper. Proportions are condensed overall, with tall, narrow capitals and similarly tight lowercase shapes, while spacing is kept even to maintain a steady vertical rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where the bold, rounded geometry can carry personality—posters, packaging, storefront signage, and brand marks. It also works well for playful UI labels or wayfinding at larger sizes where its open counters and compact width keep words legible while maintaining a strong graphic presence.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a nostalgic, mid-century display flavor. Its cushiony forms and rounded terminals feel informal and upbeat, lending a friendly, slightly whimsical voice that reads as confident rather than delicate.
The design appears intended as a friendly display sans built from superelliptical forms, prioritizing impact and approachability. Its condensed proportions and consistent rounding suggest a focus on space-efficient headlines that still feel soft, modern-retro, and highly recognizable.
Distinctive features include single-storey lowercase forms (notably a and g), compact bowls, and numerals that echo the same rounded-rectangle skeleton. The design stays highly consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, which helps large settings feel cohesive and intentional.
