This is a heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a compact, solid color on the page. Curves are smooth and generous, with large counters in letters like O, D, and P, and generally even stroke weight across verticals and horizontals. Terminals read clean and mostly blunt, while joins are sturdy and simplified for clarity at display sizes. The lowercase forms are straightforward and contemporary, with a single-storey a and g, and a short, functional ear on g; the overall rhythm is stable and blocky rather than delicate.
It performs best in headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks where strong presence and quick recognition matter. The sturdy shapes and open counters also make it suitable for short UI labels or signage when used with ample spacing.
The tone is bold and approachable, combining a friendly roundness with an assertive, headline-ready presence. It feels contemporary and utilitarian, prioritizing immediate readability and impact over nuance or refinement.
The design appears intended as a friendly, high-impact sans for display typography, built around rounded geometry and simplified forms to stay legible and consistent at large sizes and in bold applications.
Figures are large and robust, with rounded shapes (notably 0, 6, 8, 9) that match the letterforms’ soft geometry. The uppercase has strong, simple silhouettes, while the lowercase keeps a consistent, no-nonsense construction that maintains legibility in dense settings.
