A heavy, rounded sans with a superelliptical construction: straight-ish sides and flattened curves blend into generously softened corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing compact counters and sturdy, poster-like silhouettes. The lowercase is broad and squat with a tall x-height and short ascenders/descenders, while round letters (o, e, c) read as rounded rectangles rather than true circles. Terminals are blunt and uniform, spacing is open enough to keep forms distinct at large sizes, and the overall rhythm feels stable and geometric.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where its mass and rounded geometry can do the work. It also fits bold brand marks, packaging, labels, and signage—especially in playful or retro-leaning identities. For longer reading, it benefits from larger sizes and comfortable spacing.
The font projects a bold, approachable confidence—more fun than formal. Its soft, inflated geometry gives it a friendly, slightly retro tone that feels energetic and attention-grabbing without becoming sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded voice, using superelliptical forms to feel both geometric and soft. It prioritizes bold presence and clear, simple silhouettes for display-forward typography.
Distinctive superellipse bowls make O/Q and o/e feel square-rounded, and the figures follow the same chunky, softened logic for a cohesive headline palette. The heavy weight and tight apertures suggest it is most comfortable when given room (larger sizes or ample tracking) to prevent dark spots in dense text.
