A heavy, rounded sans with softly squared curves and a distinctly “superellipse” construction throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, dark silhouettes and strong color on the page. Corners and terminals are broadly rounded, counters are compact, and the overall geometry favors rounded-rectangle bowls rather than perfect circles. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with single-storey forms (notably the a and g), short, thick joins, and a generally compact rhythm that keeps shapes tightly knit. Numerals match the same chunky, rounded logic, with wide, stable forms and clear, blunt endings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and display UI moments where a strong, friendly voice is needed. It can work well for signage and brand marks that benefit from rounded, sturdy forms, especially at medium-to-large sizes where its geometric character is most apparent.
The font reads as friendly and robust—more welcoming than severe—while still feeling contemporary and functional. Its soft corners and compact counters give it a slightly playful, toy-like confidence that suits bold, attention-getting communication without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a softened, approachable edge—combining a bold, compact structure with rounded-rectangle curves for a modern, characterful display sans.
At larger sizes the rounded-rectangular bowls and softened terminals become a defining signature, giving the face a cohesive, engineered look. The dense weight and tight internal spaces can make long passages feel heavy, but they help short messages look punchy and confident.
