A heavy, rounded sans with monoline construction and broadly curved terminals. Counters are relatively small and enclosed shapes (like O, e, 8) read as dense and compact, while overall proportions stay steady and upright. Curves are smooth and circular, joins are clean, and angles (V, W, Y, Z) are simplified into sturdy, blunt forms. Numerals and capitals have a uniform, blocky presence with consistent stroke endings and minimal articulation.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and display settings where a strong, approachable voice is needed—such as branding, packaging, posters, and signage. It can work for UI labels or buttons at moderate sizes, but its dense counters suggest avoiding long body text or very small sizes.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a bold, upbeat personality that feels friendly rather than aggressive. Its soft geometry and chunky rhythm give it a slightly retro, poster-like energy suited to attention-grabbing messages.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a soft-edged, friendly silhouette—combining strong stroke weight with rounded geometry for modern, accessible display typography.
The lowercase shows single-storey forms where applicable (notably a and g), reinforcing an informal, contemporary feel. Wide curves and tight counters make it most comfortable at larger sizes where the rounded details and internal shapes stay open.
