A heavy, rounded sans with a soft superelliptical construction and blunt terminals throughout. Strokes are consistently thick, with generous rounding at corners and tight inner counters that create a punchy, compact texture. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry rather than pure circles, and several letters show deliberate notch-like cuts and asymmetric joins that add a quirky rhythm. The overall proportions feel compact with short extenders and a low x-height impression, while the figures and capitals maintain bold, poster-ready silhouettes.
Best suited to display use such as headlines, branding, posters, packaging, and playful editorial callouts where bold silhouettes and rounded forms are an advantage. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when set large enough to keep interior spaces from filling in.
The letterforms read friendly and toy-like, with a retro display energy that feels optimistic and informal. Its rounded heft and quirky details give it a distinctive, characterful voice suited to attention-grabbing headlines rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable geometric look with a retro-inspired, slightly eccentric personality, prioritizing impact and charm over neutral, text-first legibility.
Apertures and counters are often narrow, which amplifies the black mass at smaller sizes but helps the font hold a strong presence in large settings. The sample text shows a lively, uneven cadence created by the mix of rounded geometry and small cut-in details on certain strokes and joins.
