A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and softly squared corners throughout. The strokes are monolinear and smooth, with generous curves and rounded terminals that keep counters open despite the weight. Uppercase forms read sturdy and blocky, while the lowercase shows single-storey construction (notably the a and g) and simple, compact joins that maintain an even rhythm. Numerals follow the same rounded geometry, with thick, stable shapes and clear interior counters.
Best suited to attention-grabbing display work such as headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks where a friendly, rounded presence is desired. It can also work for short blocks of copy in ads or social graphics when set with ample spacing and comfortable line height.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, leaning toward a warm, informal friendliness rather than a clinical or technical feel. Its chunky, rounded forms create a confident, poster-like voice that feels energetic and welcoming.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact with a soft, approachable character—combining strong weight with rounded geometry for high visibility and a cheerful, contemporary-retro feel.
The design emphasizes consistent rounding and simplified geometry, producing a cohesive texture in paragraphs at large sizes. Curves and bowls are prominent, and the tight, sturdy shapes give headings a strong, unmistakable silhouette.
