A heavy, rounded sans with broad, open bowls and softened corners that keep the color dense without feeling sharp. Curves are strongly circular, while joins and terminals tend to be slightly blunted, producing a sturdy, approachable silhouette. Counters are moderate and clean, and the overall spacing reads even and stable at display sizes. Numerals are equally chunky and rounded, matching the letters’ inflated, poster-ready presence.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and other high-impact display settings where strong presence and quick recognition matter. It can work well for branding, packaging, and signage that aims for an approachable, energetic voice. For longer passages, it’s most effective in short bursts such as pull quotes, labels, and UI callouts rather than extended body copy.
The tone is energetic and upbeat, mixing a modern utility feel with a subtle retro, headline-driven punch. Its mass and rounded shaping give it a friendly confidence that feels sporty and contemporary rather than formal or technical.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with rounded, friendly geometry and a stable, contemporary rhythm. The emphasis appears to be on bold legibility and a cohesive, brandable texture for display typography.
At large sizes the forms look smooth and cohesive, with consistent stroke weight and a uniform, saturated texture across lines of text. The boldness can cause counters and tight joins to close up sooner at smaller sizes, so it reads strongest when given room to breathe.
