A heavy, rounded sans with smooth, circular bowls and broadly cut apertures. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, creating strong, compact silhouettes and sturdy text color. Many terminals are softly rounded or bluntly finished, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) remain crisp and angular, producing a lively mix of curves and sharp joins. Counters are relatively tight and circular, and spacing feels compact but even, giving the face a dense, poster-ready rhythm.
Best suited for display settings where impact and warmth are priorities—headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand statements. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when large sizes and strong contrast against the background are available.
The overall tone is friendly and upbeat, with a distinctly chunky confidence. Rounded forms and generous curves make it feel approachable and modern, while the weight and compactness add a punchy, energetic character suited to attention-grabbing messages.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual presence while staying friendly and easy to read. Its geometric rounding and compact construction suggest a focus on contemporary, accessible display typography for modern branding and promotional use.
The lowercase is notably rounded with single-storey forms (e.g., a, g) that emphasize simplicity and legibility at larger sizes. Numerals are bold and geometric, matching the circular language of O/0 and the broad, stable shapes across the set.
