A heavy, rounded sans with a superellipse construction: counters and outer curves read as rounded-rectangle shapes rather than perfect circles. Strokes are thick and even with softened terminals, producing sturdy silhouettes and a compact, dense texture in text. The uppercase is broad and stable, while the lowercase keeps simple, robust forms with large internal spaces where possible (notably in a, e, p, q) and tightly radiused joins elsewhere. Numerals share the same chunky, rounded geometry, with clear, billboard-like forms.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where weight and rounded structure can do the work—posters, packaging, storefront/signage, and bold brand wordmarks. It can also support subheads or callouts in layouts that need a friendly, high-contrast-in-size typographic voice without decorative styling.
The overall tone is confident and approachable, combining a utilitarian blockiness with softened edges that feel friendly rather than aggressive. Its rounded geometry and stout proportions evoke mid-century signage and headline typography, lending a slightly retro, playful voice while staying straightforward and legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a soft-edged, geometric personality—pairing thick, uniform strokes with rounded-rectangle curves for a distinctive, approachable display look.
The font’s rhythm relies on consistent corner radii and thick horizontals/verticals, giving it a strong, poster-ready color. Curved letters (C, G, S) emphasize the superellipse feel, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, N) keep the set grounded and sturdy; together they create a cohesive, high-impact texture.
