A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and strongly simplified geometry. Strokes are monolinear and consistent, with broad curves and softened joins that keep corners from feeling sharp. Counters are generally tight in rounded letters, and terminals tend to look blunt and sturdy. The lowercase is compact with a relatively low x-height, producing a dense rhythm; the single-storey “a” and “g” and the round i/j dots reinforce the simple, geometric construction.
Best suited for headlines, branding, packaging, and short display copy where strong presence and friendly clarity are needed. It works well for logos and large typographic statements, and is especially effective when used with generous spacing and simple layouts.
The overall tone is friendly and confident, with a playful, slightly retro presence. Its chunky shapes and tight counters give it an assertive voice while the rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a warm, geometric personality—combining bold, simplified shapes with rounded detailing for a contemporary display sans that remains approachable.
Large, circular forms (notably in O/Q/0/8) read as stable and emblematic, while diagonals in letters like K, V, W, X, and Y stay thick and graphic, supporting a poster-like feel. In text settings the compact lowercase and heavy color create a strong typographic texture that favors emphasis over delicacy.
