A heavy, rounded sans with softly squared curves and blunt terminals that keep the silhouettes solid and graphic. Strokes are consistently thick with gentle modulation, and many forms show subtle swelling and tapering that reads as slightly hand-drawn despite an overall upright structure. Round letters like O/C/G are broad and open, while straight-sided shapes (E/F/H/N) retain a mild curvature that softens edges. The lowercase uses single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and generally wide bowls, producing an even, approachable texture in text.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where a confident, approachable voice is needed—such as posters, storefront or event signage, packaging, and brand marks. It also works for punchy subheads and callouts where strong presence and quick readability matter more than delicate detail.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with a mildly retro, poster-like presence. Its rounded geometry and slightly bouncy rhythm feel inviting rather than technical, giving headlines a warm, upbeat character.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, welcoming sans that feels contemporary but with a soft, slightly nostalgic twist. It emphasizes impact and friendliness through rounded forms, open counters, and a lively rhythm that stays readable in prominent text.
The numerals are sturdy and highly legible at display sizes, matching the letterforms with the same rounded, blunt finishing. In the sample text the weight creates strong color and clear word shapes, with generous internal space in many counters helping prevent clogging.
