A heavy, rounded sans with a squarish, superellipse construction: curves feel like softened rectangles and terminals are broadly rounded rather than sharply cut. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with compact counters and a slightly condensed, stacked rhythm that reads dense and confident. Uppercase forms are wide and stable with simplified geometry, while lowercase stays upright and highly legible, leaning on single-storey shapes and short, rounded joins. Figures are similarly chunky and compact, matching the overall soft-rectilinear logic.
It suits headlines and short-form copy where a strong, friendly voice is needed—posters, brand marks, labels, and packaging. The sturdy, simplified shapes also work well for signage-style applications and UI callouts where clarity and impact matter more than airy texture.
The overall tone is friendly and upbeat, with a subtle retro utility feel—like durable signage or packaging that needs to look approachable rather than technical. The rounded corners and dense black shapes give it a warm, playful assertiveness that stays clean and modern.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, approachable geometric voice built from rounded-rectangle forms, prioritizing consistency, compactness, and high visual impact in display and branding contexts.
The design maintains consistent corner rounding across straight and curved strokes, which makes the font feel cohesive and deliberately modular. In text, the tight internal spaces and heavy color suggest it prefers comfortable sizes and good line spacing to avoid darkening in long paragraphs.
