A heavy, rounded sans with monoline strokes and generously curved corners throughout. The forms lean geometric, built from broad verticals and simple bowls with clean, circular counters; joins are smooth and the overall rhythm is steady and blocky rather than delicate. Apertures tend to be modest, and the lowercase shows sturdy, compact construction with short-looking extenders and a large, clear dot on i/j. Numerals match the set’s mass and roundness, with simplified, punchy shapes that keep consistent stroke weight and strong silhouette.
Best suited to display contexts where weight and presence are an advantage—headlines, posters, packaging, brand marks, and bold UI moments. It can work for short, emphatic text and names where a friendly, substantial voice is desired, while longer passages may feel visually dense due to the heavy texture.
The tone is bold and approachable, with a playful, slightly retro warmth that feels modernized by its clean geometry. Its weight and rounded construction read as friendly and confident, emphasizing impact without sharpness or aggression.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a soft, approachable feel—pairing geometric construction with rounded details for a confident display voice that remains personable and contemporary.
The design relies on strong interior whitespace to maintain clarity at large sizes, with counters and bowls doing much of the legibility work. The overall texture is dense and headline-forward, and the rounded terminals help keep large blocks of text from feeling harsh.
