A heavy, soft-cornered sans with a squared, superelliptical construction that reads as rounded rectangles rather than pure circles. Strokes are broad and confident with tight internal counters and a generally even rhythm, giving the text a dense, poster-like texture. Terminals are blunt and gently rounded, and many joins and curves appear slightly flattened, emphasizing a sturdy, blocky silhouette over finesse. The lowercase forms follow the same compact, cushioned geometry, producing a cohesive, chunky word shape in continuous text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and signage where its chunky silhouettes and soft corners can read clearly at larger sizes. It can also work for punchy subheads and callouts, especially when a friendly, retro-leaning voice is desired.
The overall tone is warm and assertive, combining a friendly softness with strong visual presence. Its rounded-rectangle shapes evoke a retro display sensibility—playful and approachable—while still feeling solid and modern enough for bold messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a softened, approachable geometry—using rounded-rectangle forms to create a distinctive, sturdy look that remains playful and readable in display typography.
The numerals and caps maintain the same softened, squared logic, which helps mixed-case settings feel consistent. In paragraphs, the weight and tight counters create a dark color and pronounced texture, favoring impact and character over airiness.
