A heavy, rounded sans with a superellipse construction: strokes end in broad, softened terminals and counters read as rounded-rectangular apertures. The geometry is compact and sturdy, with wide curves, minimal modulation, and consistent stroke thickness that gives letters a carved-from-a-block feel. Uppercase forms are simple and stable (notably the rounded-shoulder E/F and wide, open C/G), while lowercase shows single-storey a and g, a short-armed t, and a smoothly arched n/m with narrow inner openings. Numerals are equally bulky and legible, with a distinctive, rounded 2 and a compact 8 formed from two soft bowls.
Best suited to display settings where its mass and rounded geometry can read clearly: headlines, poster typography, brand marks, packaging, and large UI/wayfinding moments that benefit from a friendly, high-impact voice. It can also work for short blocks of text at larger sizes where the compact counters won’t close up.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, leaning toward a 1970s/arcade-inspired friendliness rather than strict neutrality. Its generous rounding and dense silhouettes create a cozy, toy-like warmth that feels confident and attention-grabbing without becoming sharp or aggressive.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence with minimal complexity, using superelliptical curves and softened corners to keep the tone welcoming. It prioritizes bold readability and a distinctive, era-tinged character for branding and display typography.
The design favors large interior shapes where possible, but several letters (like e, s, and m) keep tight counters that increase the sense of weight and impact. Curves and corners are consistently softened, and diagonals (such as in A, V, W, X, and Y) stay broad and blunt to maintain the same robust rhythm as the verticals.
