This typeface is a heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and a steady vertical stance. Strokes are thick and consistent, with softened corners and subtly flared or tapered joins that keep the shapes from feeling purely geometric. Counters are generally open and the lowercase forms read clearly, with a single-storey “a” and “g” and a rounded, slightly looped “q” descender. The overall rhythm is dense but even, producing solid word shapes and a strong, dark typographic color in text and display settings.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where a bold, friendly presence is desired, such as brand identities, packaging, posters, and large UI or signage. The compact, rounded forms help it hold together at larger sizes while maintaining an approachable tone.
The tone is friendly and contemporary, combining a sturdy, no-nonsense weight with soft, welcoming curves. Its rounded terminals and slightly bouncy shaping give it a personable, slightly playful voice without tipping into novelty.
The design appears aimed at delivering a robust, modern sans that feels warm rather than rigid. By pairing heavy strokes with rounded terminals and open counters, it prioritizes impact and legibility while adding a distinctive, personable character.
Several glyphs show gentle quirks—like the curved tail on “Q” and the rounded, ball-like terminals on forms such as “f” and “t”—adding character while staying consistent across the set. Numerals are similarly weighty and simple, designed to match the letterforms’ rounded, sturdy feel.
