A heavy, rounded sans with a blocky superellipse construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing dense, high-impact shapes and tight internal counters. Curves are squarish rather than circular, and terminals often feel slightly angled or cut, adding a lively, hand-shaped rhythm without losing overall geometric coherence. Lowercase forms sit on a tall x-height with compact ascenders and descenders, keeping word shapes chunky and highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand moments where a friendly but forceful voice is needed. It performs especially well for short phrases, titles, and logo-style wordmarks that benefit from rounded, compact letterforms and strong visual weight.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, with a friendly, almost toy-like solidity. Its rounded-rectangle geometry and compact spacing create a sporty, poster-ready presence that reads as retro and approachable rather than formal or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a soft, approachable geometry—combining thick strokes and squared rounding to stay readable and energetic in display contexts while maintaining a cohesive, modernized retro feel.
The sample text shows strong color on the page and stable alignment in multi-line settings, while the squared curves keep counters from becoming too delicate at smaller sizes. Numerals and capitals match the same chunky geometry, supporting consistent emphasis in headlines and short statements.
