A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly blunted terminals throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, giving letters a solid, stamped silhouette. Counters are tight and often squarish, and curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls rather than circles. The overall rhythm feels dense and vertical, with short extenders, sturdy stems, and slightly irregular widths across characters that add visual movement without breaking cohesion.
Best suited to display contexts where strong impact and quick recognition are needed, such as headlines, posters, storefront or event graphics, and bold brand marks. It can also work well on packaging and labels where a friendly, retro tone is desired. For longer text, it performs most comfortably at larger sizes where the tight counters remain clear.
The font conveys a bold, friendly confidence with a playful, slightly cartoon-like bite. Its chunky shapes and soft corners suggest a retro display mood—fun, approachable, and attention-grabbing rather than refined or technical. The texture reads loud and energetic, making words feel like signage or packaged headlines.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with soft-edged, superellipse forms that stay readable while feeling informal and expressive. The intent appears to balance strong blocky mass with rounded friendliness, creating a distinctive display voice for playful branding and headline typography.
Round letters such as O/C/G show flattened sides and squared counters, reinforcing the superellipse theme. The lowercase has a single-storey look where applicable and maintains a compact, sturdy feel; the dot on i/j is round and prominent. Numerals match the heavy, rounded-rect geometry, keeping a consistent dark color in text settings.
