A heavy, rounded sans with a stout, compact build and generously softened corners. Strokes are broadly uniform, with large internal counters that stay open despite the weight. Curves read as superelliptical and squared-off rather than perfectly circular, giving bowls and terminals a sturdy, engineered feel. Spacing is even and the rhythm is steady, with simplified joins and minimal detailing that keeps the texture bold and clean at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact text where its dense weight and rounded geometry can carry personality. It works well for posters, packaging, signage, and bold brand marks, and can also support punchy UI labels or badges when used with ample spacing.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, combining a friendly softness with a strong, assertive presence. Its rounded-rectangle geometry lends a slightly retro, sign-like flavor that feels confident without becoming aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a friendly, softened voice—pairing sturdy, squared curves with simplified letterforms for clear, modern display typography that nods to retro sign and product lettering.
Uppercase forms are particularly blocky and stable, while lowercase keeps similarly compact proportions and simple, readable shapes. Numerals match the same rounded, heavy construction, maintaining consistent color and silhouette across the set.
