A heavy, rounded sans with broad, squarish curves and consistently softened corners that give many letters a superellipse-like footprint. Strokes are thick and steady with compact internal counters, producing a dense, high-ink silhouette. Curves and terminals favor blunt, rounded-rectangle endings over sharp points; diagonals are sturdy and simplified, and joins stay smooth and clean. Lowercase forms are straightforward and robust, with single-storey shapes where applicable and a clear, legible rhythm; numerals match the same wide, blocky construction.
Best suited to headlines, logos, packaging, and bold brand statements where a soft, chunky voice is desired. It also works well for signage and short UI labels that benefit from high contrast against backgrounds, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the rounded geometry reads cleanly.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a slightly retro, arcade-like solidity. Its soft geometry keeps the weight from feeling aggressive, making it feel friendly and confident rather than rigid or clinical.
The type appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, geometric voice, combining very heavy strokes with rounded-rectangle forms to feel both modern and playfully retro. Its simplified construction prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent rhythm for attention-grabbing display typography.
The design’s tight apertures and large mass create strong presence at display sizes, while the rounded corners and simplified details keep shapes cohesive across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The wide stance and low-detail construction emphasize silhouette recognition and poster-like impact.
