A heavy, rounded sans with a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with softened corners and generally squared terminals, creating a blocky but cushiony silhouette. Counters are relatively tight and simple, and curved letters lean toward squarish bowls rather than true circles. The lowercase is large and sturdy, with short extenders and a compact, efficient rhythm that stays dark and consistent in text.
Best suited to display settings where weight and shape can carry the message—headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and bold signage. It also works for short UI labels or badges when a friendly, high-impact voice is desired, but its dense texture can feel heavy for long-form text.
The overall tone is confident and approachable, pairing strong presence with soft geometry. Its rounded massing gives it a friendly, slightly retro feel, while the dense, punchy color reads energetic and headline-driven.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a soft-edged, contemporary-retro geometry. By combining broad proportions with rounded-rectangle curves and minimal detail, it aims for instant readability and a distinctive, approachable presence in branding and display typography.
Capitals have a sturdy, poster-like stance, and round letters (like C, O, G) show squarish curvature that emphasizes the superellipse feel. Numerals match the same chunky, rounded construction and maintain strong legibility at display sizes.
