A heavy, rounded sans with a superelliptical construction: bowls and counters are built from squarish curves with softened corners, producing a compact, blocky silhouette. Strokes are broadly even with subtle modulation, and terminals tend to feel blunt and weighty rather than sharp. The x-height reads large, with short ascenders/descenders and generous interior mass, giving lowercase a sturdy, squat presence. Counters are relatively tight—especially in letters like a, e, s, and g—while round characters like O and 0 appear more rectangular than circular, reinforcing a wide, billboard-ready footprint.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and bold signage where its dense color and rounded geometry can carry impact. It also works well for playful brand systems and short callouts, especially when set large enough to preserve counter clarity.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, blending a retro display energy with a toy-like softness. Its rounded-rectangle geometry reads confident and attention-seeking, while the softened corners keep it friendly rather than aggressive. The dense black color and compact counters add a loud, poster-like voice that feels casual and fun.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a friendly, rounded-rect aesthetic—combining a wide stance, large lowercase proportions, and compact counters to create a strong, graphic texture. Its consistent superelliptical shapes suggest an intention to feel modern and geometric while nodding to retro, chunky display lettering.
The design favors strong horizontals and sturdy curves, with distinctive, squared-off round forms and a single-storey lowercase a. Numerals follow the same chunky, rounded-rect style; the 0 is especially geometric and compact. At smaller sizes, the tight apertures and heavy weight suggest the letterforms will look more like solid shapes than delicate text.
