A condensed, heavy sans with consistently rounded corners and a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction. Strokes are largely uniform, producing a sturdy, monoline silhouette with minimal modulation and smooth terminals. Counters tend to be compact and squarish-oval, and many joins and diagonals are softened, giving the alphabet a cohesive, pillow-like geometry. The lowercase is compact with a normal-feeling x-height for this width, while ascenders and descenders stay controlled; spacing appears tight and efficient, emphasizing vertical rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, titles, posters, and branding where compact width and high impact are helpful. It can work for short bursts of text in packaging or signage, but its dense shapes and tight counters are most effective at larger sizes where the rounded details remain clear.
The overall tone feels upbeat and retro, with a friendly, approachable heaviness. Its softened corners and tightly packed forms suggest a display-forward personality that reads as fun and slightly vintage rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a tight horizontal footprint, combining a bold, condensed structure with softened, superelliptical curves for a friendly display voice.
Distinctive rounded shoulders and corners make straight-sided letters feel less rigid, and the narrow proportions create a strong stacked texture in lines of text. Numerals follow the same condensed, rounded construction, keeping a consistent color and presence alongside the letters.
