A compact sans with soft, rounded geometry and consistently heavy strokes. Curves are smooth and circular (notably in C, G, O, Q, and the bowls of b/p), while verticals read straight and sturdy, producing a clear, even texture in text. Terminals are largely blunt with rounded corners, and several glyphs show slightly idiosyncratic shaping—such as a hooked J, a curved tail on Q, and a single-storey a—adding character without breaking overall consistency. Figures are simple and open, with oval counters and a prominent, looped 2 and 3.
Best suited to headlines, logos, packaging, and short blocks of display text where its rounded geometry and strong weight can carry personality. It can also work for signage and UI labels when set with ample spacing, as the dense strokes and compact shapes can build a dark, assertive line in longer passages.
The overall tone is friendly and contemporary, with rounded forms that feel welcoming and mildly playful. Its compact proportions and confident weight give it a direct, poster-like presence while still staying clean and readable.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, approachable sans for display and brand communication—combining geometric roundness with compact proportions and a few distinctive letterform cues to stand out in titles and identity work.
In the sample text, the weight creates strong emphasis at larger sizes, and the rounded joins help keep dense lines from feeling brittle. The mix of geometric bowls with slightly customized details (especially in Q, J, and some lowercase forms) gives it a distinct voice suited to branding-led typography.
