A heavy, rounded sans with smooth, continuous curves and broadly uniform stroke weight. Counters are generous for the weight, with round characters (O/C/G) reading as near-circular and squared shapes (E/F/H/N) softened by subtle curvature at joins and terminals. The lowercase shows sturdy, simple constructions with a single-storey a and g, a broad-shouldered n/m, and a short, thick t with a compact crossbar. Numerals are full and bold, with ample interior space and clear silhouettes that hold up at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short text where strong weight and rounded geometry can deliver impact—such as branding, packaging, posters, and signage. It can also work for bold UI callouts or section headers where clarity and a friendly tone are needed.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, combining a contemporary, geometric cleanliness with approachable softness. Its mass and smoothness give it a poster-like presence without feeling harsh, making it feel energetic, friendly, and straightforward.
Designed to provide a high-impact sans that stays approachable through rounded forms and open counters. The intent appears to balance geometric simplicity with robust readability, favoring confident display performance and clean, contemporary branding applications.
Curved joins and softened corners reduce sharpness throughout, giving a cohesive, rounded texture in lines of text. Spacing appears tuned for headline density, with letters sitting firmly on the baseline and maintaining strong, stable forms when set in all caps or mixed case.
