A heavy, rounded sans with superellipse-like geometry and softly squared curves. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with rounded terminals and corners that keep the forms smooth even where they turn sharply. Counters tend to be small and tightly enclosed, and apertures are compact, giving the letters a solid, punchy silhouette. Uppercase forms read as geometric and stable, while the lowercase maintains the same chunky construction with single-storey shapes and short, sturdy extenders. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, with broad bodies and simplified internal openings that hold up as bold shapes.
Best suited to logos, bold headlines, posters, and packaging where high-impact, rounded letterforms are desirable. It also fits sporty or playful branding and short display copy, especially when you want a soft-edged, retro-bold impression.
The overall tone is friendly and assertive, with a toy-like softness that feels inviting rather than aggressive. Its chunky shapes and compact openings suggest a retro display energy—sporty, upbeat, and designed to grab attention quickly.
Likely designed as a high-impact display sans that combines geometric, rounded-rectangle construction with approachable softness. The goal appears to be immediate legibility at headline sizes while delivering a distinctive, chunky personality for branding.
The rhythm is driven by large masses and tight interior space, producing strong word shapes at larger sizes. The rounded-square construction stays consistent across letters and figures, creating a cohesive, logo-ready texture.
