A heavy, monoline sans with softly squared, superellipse-like curves and mostly flat stroke terminals. The drawing favors compact counters and generous, rounded shoulders, producing a dense, even color in text. Curved forms (C, O, S, e) read as rounded rectangles rather than perfect circles, while joins stay clean and uniform with minimal modulation. Spacing appears steady and practical, supporting solid word shapes at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short text where its dense weight and rounded-rectangle curves can read clearly and project personality. It works well for branding, packaging, posters, and signage that need a friendly but forceful presence, and can also serve as an attention-grabbing UI or label face at larger sizes.
The overall tone is approachable and upbeat, with a slightly retro, sign-painterly bluntness that feels friendly rather than austere. Its rounded geometry and stout proportions give it a confident, uncomplicated voice suited to bold statements.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a warm, geometric character—combining a bold, uniform stroke with softened corners to keep the tone approachable. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent rhythm for confident display typography.
Several lowercase forms lean toward single-storey simplicity (notably a and g), reinforcing an informal, contemporary feel. Numerals are broad and sturdy, matching the letter weight and maintaining the same soft-cornered geometry.
