A heavy, rounded sans with superelliptical construction: strokes and counters read as softened rectangles with generous corner radii. Curves are wide and calm, terminals are blunt, and many apertures are tight, producing dense, poster-like word shapes. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with single-storey forms and small, pill-like inner counters; dots and punctuation take on the same rounded-rectangle motif. Diagonals (V, W, X, Y) remain thick and stable, and numerals are blocky with horizontally sliced interior openings that echo the font’s soft-rectilinear rhythm.
This font is best suited to headlines, logo wordmarks, packaging, posters, and brand graphics where the rounded, blocky forms can read large and deliver a strong silhouette. It can also work for short callouts and signage-style copy, but the tight apertures suggest using it at generous sizes and with comfortable tracking for maximum clarity.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, with a toy-like, 1970s-inspired softness that feels energetic rather than formal. Its chunky silhouettes and closed-in counters create a confident, attention-grabbing voice suited to upbeat, friendly messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, superellipse-based display sans that feels soft, bold, and highly legible at large sizes, emphasizing iconic shapes and consistent rounded-rectangle details over delicate nuance.
Spacing appears built for display impact: wide letterforms and compact inner spaces create strong texture in lines of text, especially in all caps. The design’s consistent superellipse geometry keeps the alphabet cohesive and gives repeated shapes (like bowls and dots) a recognizable signature.
