A heavy, rounded sans with broadly geometric construction and softly eased corners. Curves are full and circular (notably in C, O, S, and the bowls of B and P), while terminals are clean and blunt, creating solid, high-impact silhouettes. Proportions feel compact and sturdy, with slightly squared inner counters and a consistent stroke thickness that keeps forms even and graphic. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms (a, g) and a robust t with a short crossbar, maintaining a cohesive, contemporary rhythm across text.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium passages where strong presence and clarity are needed, such as brand marks, packaging, posters, and signage. The rounded forms and sturdy weight also work well for UI headers, badges, and promotional graphics where an inviting, modern voice is desirable.
The overall tone is friendly and confident, with a contemporary, slightly sporty energy. Its rounded geometry and dense color give it an approachable, upbeat feel rather than a formal or technical one.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, modern sans that stays readable and friendly by pairing dense strokes with generous curves and simplified constructions. It aims for high impact without sharpness, balancing geometric order with soft, approachable contours.
Spacing appears comfortable for a heavy style, helping counters stay open in running text. Numerals are similarly rounded and weighty, matching the letterforms for cohesive headline and display settings.
