A heavy, rounded geometric sans with compact proportions and broad, even strokes. Curves are built from near-circular bowls and generous radii, while joins and terminals stay clean and mostly flat, giving the letters a solid, poster-like mass. Counters are relatively small and the overall rhythm is tight, especially in the lowercase where the forms feel squat and sturdy. Numerals follow the same rounded construction, with thick curves and simple, high-contrast silhouettes driven more by shape than detail.
Best suited for headlines, short phrases, and brand marks where its dense weight and rounded geometry can carry personality. It works well on packaging and signage that needs quick impact and a friendly presence, and can also serve as a bold UI accent for labels or buttons when set with ample size and spacing.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a chunky friendliness that reads as modern-retro. Its simplified geometry and weight create an energetic, confident voice that feels more fun and informal than corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a warm, geometric character—combining sturdy, simplified shapes with rounded curves to stay legible and inviting in display settings.
The design leans on strong, easily recognized silhouettes with minimal internal detail, which helps at display sizes but can make apertures and counters feel cramped as size decreases. The mix of circular bowls and straight-sided strokes produces a distinctive, slightly “cut-out” look in letters like a, e, and s.
