A heavy, rounded display sans built from softened rectangular forms and superelliptical curves. Strokes appear largely monoline with subtly tapered joins, producing a compact, blocky texture and strong silhouette. Corners are consistently rounded and counters are small-to-medium with squarish openings, creating tight internal space and a dense color on the page. Terminals are blunt and cushioned, and the overall spacing feels sturdy and even, supporting large-size readability and impactful headlines.
Best suited to display settings where mass and clarity matter—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and large-format signage. It can work for short bursts of copy or punchy subheads, but its dense counters and strong weight make it less ideal for long, small-size paragraphs.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a distinctly retro, poster-like personality. Its inflated, rubbery geometry reads friendly rather than formal, and the dense shapes give it a confident, attention-grabbing presence.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a friendly, rounded voice, combining compact superelliptical construction with simplified, sturdy letterforms for bold, legible display typography.
Uppercase forms feel particularly poster-ready, while the lowercase maintains the same chunky geometry for cohesive setting in short phrases. Numerals share the same rounded-rectangle construction, helping mixed text and figures feel uniform and bold.
