A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and compact interior shaping. Strokes are consistently thick with softened joins and gently squared terminals, giving letters a sturdy, cushioned silhouette. Curves are smooth and geometric, with generous bowls (O, Q, a, e) and simplified forms that keep counters open even at dense weight. Overall spacing feels stable and headline-oriented, with a strong, even rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display roles where impact and clarity are priorities—headlines, posters, large-format signage, and brand or packaging work. It can also perform in short UI labels or callouts when a warm, emphatic voice is needed, but its mass and width make it more effective for concise strings than for long passages.
The tone is bold and upbeat, combining a friendly softness with an assertive, attention-grabbing presence. Its rounded geometry reads approachable rather than formal, making it feel contemporary and energetic without becoming quirky or decorative.
The design intention appears focused on delivering maximum presence with approachable, rounded geometry: a strong, modern sans that stays readable while projecting a friendly, contemporary character.
Lowercase forms lean toward single-storey construction where applicable, reinforcing a straightforward, modern texture in text. Numerals share the same broad, rounded build and look designed to hold up clearly in large sizes and at distance.
