A heavy, rounded sans with superelliptical construction and tightly controlled curves that read like rounded rectangles. Strokes stay broadly consistent, with soft terminals and corners throughout, while small notches and scooped joins create a distinctive cut-in rhythm at intersections and curves. Counters are compact and often pinched, producing bold internal shapes and a dense, high-impact texture. The x-height appears tall relative to ascenders, and the overall letterforms feel sturdy and blocky without becoming square.
Best suited for display work where its mass and distinctive notched shaping can be appreciated—headlines, poster typography, brand marks, and packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when a friendly, characterful voice is desired, but the dense counters and decorative joins make it less ideal for extended small-size text.
The overall tone is upbeat and retro-leaning, with a friendly softness that offsets the very heavy weight. The carved-in notches add a quirky, stylized attitude that feels decorative and attention-grabbing rather than strictly utilitarian. It projects confidence and warmth, with a hint of 1970s-inspired display character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a soft, geometric silhouette, pairing bold, rounded forms with stylized cut-ins to avoid monotony. It prioritizes personality and recognizability in large-scale settings, aiming for a modern-retro display feel while keeping the letterforms coherent and systematic.
Round letters (like o/c/e) maintain a squarish, superelliptical silhouette, giving the font a consistent geometric voice. Several glyphs show deliberate narrowing at joins and entry points, which helps keep counters open at large sizes and adds visual sparkle in headlines. Numerals match the same chunky, rounded logic and sit comfortably alongside the lowercase.
