A heavy, rounded sans with smooth curves and softly blunted terminals. Strokes are consistently thick, with minimal contrast and generous counters that keep the dense weight from clogging. The geometry leans circular in bowls (C, O, Q, a, e), while joins and corners are subtly eased rather than sharply squared. Proportions are compact with sturdy verticals and slightly condensed-feeling spacing in text, creating a solid, unified rhythm. Numerals are bold and simplified, matching the same rounded, monolithic construction as the letters.
Well suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a confident, friendly voice is needed. It can work effectively on packaging and signage thanks to its strong silhouettes and open internal spaces, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is warm and upbeat, reading as inviting rather than strict. Its chunky silhouettes and softened edges give it a casual, slightly nostalgic character that feels suited to fun, everyday messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a soft, approachable personality—combining bold, simple forms with rounded detailing to keep the tone welcoming and contemporary.
Lowercase forms emphasize friendliness through large bowls and short, sturdy stems; the single-storey a and g reinforce an informal, contemporary feel. The bold weight creates strong presence at display sizes, while the open apertures and rounded counters help maintain legibility in short blocks of text.
