A very heavy, rounded sans with soft superelliptical bowls and squared-off curves that read like rounded rectangles. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and terminals are smoothly blunted rather than sharply cut. Counters are compact and often squarish, giving letters like O, D, P, and 0 a sturdy, blocky presence. The lowercase is simple and geometric, with single-storey a and g, short ascenders/descenders, and tight internal spacing that keeps words dense and bold.
Best suited to display settings where its dense weight and rounded geometry can be appreciated: headlines, posters, bold branding marks, packaging, and short UI/label text. It performs particularly well when set large, where the compact counters and soft corners create a strong, friendly silhouette.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a chunky softness that feels playful and slightly retro. Its exaggerated weight and rounded geometry add a cartoonish confidence that reads as fun rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a warm, geometric voice—combining a sturdy, high-ink footprint with rounded-rectangle construction for a distinctive, highly legible display look.
Several forms emphasize symmetry and modular construction, with rounded-rectangle motifs repeating across letters and numerals. The heaviest joins and small apertures can make similar shapes (for example C/G/O/Q or n/m) feel closer at small sizes, while at larger sizes the distinctive squarish counters become a defining character.
