A heavy, rounded sans with a squarish “superellipse” construction: curves are broad and flattened, corners are strongly softened, and counters tend toward rounded rectangles. The stroke endings read as clean and blunt, with a generally even texture and minimal modulation, giving the letters a dense, poster-like presence. Proportions are wide and stable, with compact apertures in letters like C, S, and e, and generous, weighty bowls in O, D, and P. Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy, with a single-storey a and g and a short, firm crossbar on t, contributing to an overall compact, geometric rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short statements where mass and silhouette do the work. It also fits brand marks, packaging, apparel graphics, and punchy UI/label moments that need friendly heft and instant readability at display sizes.
The tone is bold and approachable—more friendly than severe—thanks to the rounded corners and inflated, cushiony shapes. It projects contemporary, high-impact energy suited to attention-grabbing settings while keeping a casual, upbeat feel.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with soft-cornered geometry: a bold, contemporary display sans that stays approachable while maintaining a strong, compact presence. Its consistent superellipse construction suggests an intention for clear, repeatable shapes that hold up in large, high-contrast applications.
The numerals are chunky and highly legible, matching the same rounded-rect geometry as the letters. Spacing and sidebearings appear tuned for large sizes, creating a tight, assertive word shape and a strong black-and-white pattern in text.
