A chunky, soft-cornered sans with heavy strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) geometry throughout. Curves are broad and full, counters are relatively tight, and joins feel blunt and sturdy rather than sharp. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with simple, single-storey forms and compact apertures, while capitals are wide, blocky, and built from big, confident shapes. Numerals match the same dense, rounded construction, producing an overall look that stays solid and even at a glance.
Best suited to display use where weight and rounded geometry can carry personality—headlines, posters, logos, product packaging, and bold UI moments like hero banners or section headers. It can also work for short, emphatic copy (calls to action, labels, stickers), especially with ample spacing and contrast against the background.
The tone is bold and friendly, with a playful, slightly retro advertising feel. Its rounded corners and compact counters soften the weight, making it feel approachable rather than aggressive, while still delivering strong impact for attention-grabbing copy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded voice—using superellipse-based shapes and blunt terminals to keep forms sturdy, legible, and visually cohesive in large sizes. It prioritizes bold presence and a smooth, approachable texture over delicate detail.
The rhythm is driven by large, simple silhouettes and consistent corner rounding, giving words a cohesive, sign-like texture. Tight inner spaces and heavy terminals create strong color on the page, which favors short lines and generous tracking when used in larger blocks.
