A heavy, rounded sans with a superelliptical construction: corners are broadly curved, bowls feel squarish-round, and terminals end in soft, blunt cuts. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing strong silhouettes and dense color on the page. Counters tend to be compact, with rounded-rectangle apertures in letters like C, G, and S, while verticals dominate the rhythm in forms like E, F, H, and N. Lowercase shapes are sturdy and simplified, with single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a wide, rounded-shoulder m; punctuation-like details such as the i/j dots appear as solid round blobs. Numerals follow the same chunky geometry, with large, closed forms and generous curvature at the extremes.
Well suited to big headlines, posters, and short-form copy where impact matters. It’s a strong fit for branding and packaging that needs a friendly, modern-retro presence, as well as social graphics, signage, and punchy callouts where the rounded heft helps maintain clarity at distance.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, combining assertive weight with softened edges that keep it from feeling aggressive. Its rounded, block-like construction suggests a contemporary-retro personality—loud, fun, and made to be noticed—while staying clean enough for straightforward messaging.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a welcoming, rounded character—pairing dense weight and simplified shapes to create confident, memorable wordmarks and display typography.
The design reads best at display sizes where its tight counters and thick joins can breathe; in long passages it will form a strong, dark typographic texture. The distinctive superellipse logic gives the font a cohesive, logo-like consistency across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
