A heavy, rounded sans with a superelliptical construction: bowls and counters read as rounded rectangles, and corners are consistently softened rather than fully circular. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, producing dense, stable silhouettes with minimal modulation. The lowercase is compact with straightforward, geometric joins; the single-storey “a” and “g” reinforce the simplified, constructed feel. Curves and terminals stay blunt and squared-off, giving letters a chunky, poster-like presence and strong color on the page.
Best suited to display use where its dense weight and rounded-rectangular forms can read clearly: posters, headlines, logos, packaging, and bold wayfinding or signage. It can also work for short emphatic UI labels or badges when generous spacing and size are available.
The overall tone is confident and upbeat, mixing a utilitarian, engineered solidity with friendly softness from the rounded corners. It suggests retro signage and pop display typography—assertive, approachable, and slightly playful rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a constructed, geometric voice, using softened corners to keep the heavy shapes approachable. Its consistent superellipse-based forms aim for a distinctive, memorable texture in large-scale typography.
The design favors closed, boxy counters (notably in rounded letters) and short apertures, which increases visual mass at text sizes. Numerals share the same stout geometry and rounded-rectangle logic, keeping the set cohesive in display settings.
