A heavy, rounded sans with superelliptical geometry: strokes end in soft, squared-off curves and corners are broadly radiused rather than circular. Letterforms are wide and blocky, with compact internal counters (notably in B, P, R, a, e) that emphasize mass and a dark overall color. Curves transition into straighter segments with minimal modulation, and terminals are consistently blunt, producing a sturdy, poster-like rhythm. Lowercase forms keep a tall x-height and simple construction, with single-storey a and g and short, thick joins that preserve the font’s compact, cushioned feel.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where its mass and rounded geometry can do the work—posters, packaging, signage, and brand marks that need a friendly but forceful voice. It can also work for merchandise graphics and social media titles, especially when strong contrast with the background is available.
The font reads as bold, approachable, and slightly comic, with a 1970s/arcade-friendly warmth. Its rounded-rectangle shapes feel playful and informal while still projecting confidence and impact, making it well-suited to attention-grabbing, upbeat messaging.
The design intention appears to be a high-impact display sans built from rounded-rectangle forms—maximizing boldness and legibility at large sizes while conveying a soft, approachable personality rather than a sharp or technical one.
Spacing appears designed for display sizes: the dense counters and heavy joins can close up visually in longer text, but the consistent rounding keeps the texture smooth. Numerals match the same cushioned, blocky logic, maintaining strong presence and quick recognition.
