A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and soft, blunted terminals. Strokes are essentially monoline, with generous rounding at corners and flattened inner counters that create a squared, superelliptical rhythm. Proportions are condensed and vertical, with a tall x-height and short extenders; joins and curves stay smooth and consistent, giving the letters a dense, blocky texture in text. Numerals match the same softened geometry, with wide bowls and minimal contrast between straight and curved segments.
Best suited to headlines and short display copy where its dense, rounded forms can read as confident and inviting. It works well for packaging, retail signage, app or game UI titles, and logo marks that need a compact, high-impact presence, especially in single-color applications.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, leaning playful rather than formal. Its rounded, cushiony shapes and compact spacing suggest a retro, poster-like energy that feels friendly and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a compact footprint, using superelliptical, rounded-rectangle forms to stay friendly while remaining bold and highly legible at display sizes.
Counters tend to be tight and rectangular, which increases dark mass and makes the face feel sturdy at display sizes. The lowercase forms are simplified and sturdy, with single-storey construction where applicable and a generally uniform, geometric rhythm across the set.
