A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Curves are smoothly drawn and transitions are softened, giving letters a slightly inflated, blocky feel rather than a sharp geometric one. Strokes maintain an even, sturdy texture, while apertures and bowls stay relatively closed, especially in letters like a, e, s, and g. The overall rhythm is dense and stable, with short extenders and sturdy joins that read clearly at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display copy where impact and warmth are priorities—such as branding, packaging, posters, and signage. Its dense texture and tight counters favor larger sizes, where the rounded shapes and strong presence stay crisp and legible.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a confident, poster-like presence. Its rounded massing and softened corners make it feel friendly and contemporary, while the dense color gives it a decisive, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum presence with an inviting, softened geometry—combining a modern, simplified sans structure with rounded, weighty forms for emphatic display typography.
Uppercase forms lean toward simple, solid silhouettes, and the lowercase maintains a similarly chunky construction with single-storey a and g. Numerals are bold and straightforward, built to match the same rounded, compact logic and strong visual weight across a line.
