A heavy, rounded sans with smooth, geometric curves and largely uniform stroke thickness. Counters are generous and mostly circular, giving letters like O, C, G, and Q a clean, open feel, while joins and terminals stay blunt and uncomplicated. Uppercase forms read sturdy and compact, and the lowercase keeps a simple, single-storey construction where applicable, with dots that appear round and prominent. Figures are wide and sturdy with clear silhouettes, suited to large-scale reproduction.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, logos, and brand systems where a bold, rounded voice is desired. It can also work well for packaging and signage thanks to its sturdy shapes and open counters, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is friendly and contemporary, pairing soft rounding with a strong, assertive weight. It feels upbeat and approachable rather than technical, with a straightforward rhythm that communicates clarity and confidence.
Designed to deliver a modern, friendly display sans that remains highly legible while projecting warmth and confidence. The consistent geometry and rounded construction suggest an emphasis on simple, versatile forms that read clearly in bold typographic statements.
The design leans on circular geometry for its character, producing consistent spacing and a smooth texture in words. The heavy weight and open counters help maintain legibility, while the rounded forms add warmth and reduce harshness in dense headings.
