A heavy, rounded sans with monoline strokes and compact, sturdy proportions. Curves are built from broad circular and oval forms, while corners and terminals are softly squared, creating a chunky, cushiony silhouette. Counters are generous for the weight, and joins stay clean and simple, producing an even, poster-like rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals match the same rounded construction with bold, stable shapes.
Best suited for display use such as headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and bold signage where a friendly, high-impact voice is needed. It can work for short bursts of text in marketing or UI callouts, but its heavy weight is most effective when used sparingly and at larger sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a friendly softness that keeps the weight from feeling aggressive. Its rounded geometry reads as contemporary and slightly playful, giving headlines a confident, easygoing presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum clarity and presence with softened geometry—combining sturdy, simple construction with rounded forms to create a modern, welcoming display sans.
Uppercase forms feel wide and steady, while the lowercase maintains clear, single-storey-style simplicity and strong silhouettes at large sizes. The design prioritizes impact and smooth shapes over fine detail, making it most at home where bold, clean letterforms are the focus.
