A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and softly blunted terminals. Strokes are thick and steady with gently modulated curves, giving counters a slightly squarish, rounded-rectangle feel rather than perfect circles. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, while lowercase characters are sturdy and compact, with a single-storey “a” and “g” and a short, robust “t.” Numerals are wide and weighty with simple construction and rounded bends, maintaining an even, bold rhythm across the set.
Best suited to display contexts such as headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks where strong presence is needed. It can work for short UI labels or signage when sizes are generous, but the dense weight is more effective for emphasis than for long, small text.
The overall tone is friendly and contemporary, with a confident, poster-like presence. Its rounded forms and compact shapes add warmth and approachability, while the dense black color gives it an energetic, attention-grabbing voice.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a warm, rounded voice—combining solid, simplified geometry with softened details for approachable display typography.
The design favors legibility through large apertures and clear silhouettes, though the heavy weight reduces interior space in smaller sizes. The rhythm reads slightly bouncy due to rounded joins and compact spacing, making it feel less formal than typical grotesks.
