A heavy, rounded sans with superellipse-inspired curves and broad, uniform strokes. Letterforms are compact and blocky with softened corners, producing a sturdy silhouette and even color across lines. Counters are relatively small for the weight, while curves (notably in C, G, O, S) read as smoothly squared-off rather than perfectly circular. The lowercase keeps simple, single-storey constructions where applicable and maintains a consistent, solid rhythm; numerals are similarly stout and highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to bold headlines, titles, and short-form messaging where strong presence and quick readability matter. It works well for branding, packaging, posters, and signage—especially in contexts aiming for a friendly, modern-retro voice. For extended text, more generous sizing and spacing helps preserve clarity due to the dense counters.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, combining a confident, attention-grabbing weight with friendly, softened geometry. Its rounded rectangular shapes suggest a contemporary-retro flavor that feels casual and energetic rather than formal or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a soft-edged, geometric feel—pairing stout proportions and uniform stroke weight with rounded-rectangle curves for an approachable display voice.
At large sizes the dense interiors and tight apertures create strong impact, while the softened corners prevent the texture from feeling harsh. The sample text shows a dark, uniform typographic color that holds together well in short headlines but can feel heavy in long paragraphs.
