A heavy, rounded sans with soft, superellipse-like curves and squared-off terminals. Strokes are broadly uniform, with gentle swelling in curves rather than sharp joins, and counters tend toward rounded-rectangle shapes. Proportions lean compact with a tall x-height, short ascenders/descenders, and a slightly bouncy rhythm created by subtle width variation across letters. Uppercase forms are sturdy and simplified; lowercase features single-story a and g, a compact e with a tight aperture, and generally blunt, clean endings.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings such as headlines, brand marks, packaging callouts, posters, and friendly wayfinding/signage. The tall x-height and broad shapes help maintain clarity at moderate sizes, while the compact, rounded forms create a strong, distinctive word silhouette.
The overall tone is friendly and contemporary, with a mild cartoonish warmth that feels inviting rather than formal. Its soft geometry and chunky presence give it an upbeat, casual voice suited to attention-grabbing text without feeling aggressive.
The design appears intended to blend geometric simplicity with softened, human-friendly contours, creating a sturdy display sans that feels modern, informal, and easily recognizable in branding and promotional typography.
Round letters (O, C, G, Q) read as squarish ovals with softened corners, reinforcing the superellipse construction. Diacritics and dots appear large and clear, and numerals share the same rounded-rectilinear logic for a consistent, approachable texture.
