A heavy, rounded sans with superellipse-driven construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are thick and even, with generous internal radii that keep counters open despite the weight. Terminals tend to be blunt and squared-off with rounding, producing a compact, blocky silhouette and a bouncy rhythm across words. The lowercase shows single-storey forms and simplified joins, while numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic for a cohesive, sturdy texture.
Best suited to headlines, short callouts, and branding where bold presence and friendliness are desired. It works well on posters, packaging, and playful UI or entertainment contexts, especially when set large enough to showcase its rounded geometry and smooth counters.
The overall tone is cheerful and approachable, with a distinctly retro display feel. Its chunky geometry and soft edges read as informal and friendly, leaning toward playful branding and headline energy rather than a neutral, utilitarian voice.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a soft, rounded, geometric voice—prioritizing approachability and strong silhouettes. Its simplified, superellipse-like forms suggest an intention to feel modern yet nostalgic, optimized for display use and expressive branding.
Spacing appears intentionally roomy to prevent clogging at this weight, helping maintain legibility in short phrases. The design emphasizes uniform softness and geometric consistency, which makes the texture feel stable and “puffy” even at larger sizes.
