A heavy, rounded display sans built from squarish, superellipse-like forms. Strokes are consistently thick with softened corners and broad, flat terminals, creating a dense, even color on the page. Counters tend to be small and often rectangular, and many joins show subtle notches or ink-trap-like cut-ins that sharpen the silhouette without breaking the overall softness. The lowercase has a large x-height and simple, sturdy construction; the uppercase reads as wide and strongly rectangular, with compact apertures and tightly contained interior space.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and logo wordmarks where a compact, high-impact presence is desired. It also works well for labels, product naming, and short UI or signage moments when you want rounded geometry with strong visual authority.
The overall tone is bold and buoyant: chunky shapes and rounded corners feel friendly, while the tight counters and dense texture add confidence and impact. The slight notched detailing introduces a sporty, retro-industrial edge that keeps it from feeling purely bubbly.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a soft-edged geometric voice: wide, rounded rectangles for quick recognition, tight counters for weighty texture, and small notch details to improve separation and add character at display sizes.
In continuous text, the weight and compact counters make spacing feel tight and the texture quite solid, which favors short setting over long reading. Numerals follow the same squarish, rounded logic, giving them strong sign-like clarity at large sizes.
