A heavy, rounded sans with broad, compact proportions and soft superellipse corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with mostly flat terminals, producing solid, poster-like silhouettes and a tight interior spacing feel. Curves on C, G, O, and S are built from rounded-rectangle geometry rather than true circles, and counters tend to be small and rectangularly rounded. Lowercase forms are sturdy and utilitarian, with a single-storey a and g, a short-armed t, and a dense, vertical rhythm. Numerals match the weight and stance, reading as chunky and stable in display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, short text bursts, and large-scale applications where dense black shapes can carry impact—posters, signage, labels, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also work for UI banners and callouts where a friendly-but-firm tone is needed and legibility at larger sizes is the priority.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded corners. It reads as energetic and assertive, suited to attention-grabbing messaging without feeling sharp or aggressive. The dense color and compact shapes convey strength, reliability, and a slightly sporty, workmanlike character.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a softened, modernized geometry—combining billboard-grade weight with rounded superellipse construction for approachability. Its consistent stroke thickness and compact counters suggest an intention to stay cohesive and readable in bold display settings across letters and numerals.
The design leans on squared-off structure (notably in E/F/T and the straight-sided bowls), giving text a strong, blocky texture. The uppercase set feels especially commanding, while the lowercase maintains the same mass and keeps word shapes compact. Round forms and straight forms are harmonized by consistently rounded joins and corners, keeping the family look cohesive across letters and figures.
