A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and large counters relative to its weight. Strokes are monolinear and smooth, with soft curves and subtly flattened joins that keep the shapes stable at large sizes. The uppercase reads blocky and confident with broad bowls (B, D, O) and clean, straightforward construction, while the lowercase maintains a simple, contemporary skeleton with single-storey forms where expected and round, prominent dots on i and j. Numerals are bold and geometric, with simple, open shapes designed for clarity and strong presence.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where strong emphasis and quick recognition are needed, such as posters, brand marks, packaging callouts, and storefront or event signage. It also works well for short UI labels or social graphics when a friendly, high-impact voice is desired.
The overall tone is approachable and upbeat, combining a friendly roundness with assertive weight. It feels contemporary and informal, suited to messaging that aims to be welcoming, energetic, and immediately readable.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with a soft, approachable feel, using rounded geometry and monoline construction to stay clean and legible at large sizes. The letterforms prioritize bold clarity and a contemporary, friendly character over delicate detail.
The weight and rounded geometry give it a strong silhouette in short words, and the compact spacing and stout forms create a dense, poster-like rhythm. Curves stay consistent across letters, reinforcing a cohesive, clean display texture.
