A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a distinctly geometric build. Strokes are thick and uniform, with softened corners and generously rounded bowls that create a smooth, compact texture in lines of text. Counters are relatively tight in letters like a, e, and s, and apertures tend to be small, reinforcing a dense, poster-ready color. Terminals read clean and blunt, while diagonals (V, W, X) are sturdy and simplified to match the overall mass. Numerals share the same wide, sturdy construction, with curved forms that stay legible at large sizes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where you want strong visual weight and a friendly voice: headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and signage. It also works well for bold UI labels or callouts when ample size and spacing are available.
The overall tone is friendly and approachable, with a confident, high-impact presence. Its rounded geometry and compact counters give it a playful, contemporary feel that reads more upbeat than formal, while still looking solid and dependable.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a soft, contemporary character—pairing sturdy, geometric letterforms with rounded shaping to stay approachable while remaining highly attention-grabbing.
Uppercase forms feel particularly stable and sign-like, while the lowercase introduces more personality through rounded shoulders and compact bowls. The dot on i/j is circular and prominent, and the Q features a clear, uncomplicated tail, keeping the design consistent and easy to scan.
