A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a high x-height, built from smooth, geometric curves and stout verticals. Counters are generally generous and circular, while terminals tend to be clean and softly finished rather than sharp. The design shows noticeable thick–thin modulation in places, especially where curves meet stems, giving the otherwise monolinear, blocky construction a subtly contrasted, polished rhythm. Overall spacing reads open and stable, supporting large sizes with strong silhouette clarity.
Best suited for headlines, logos, and brand systems that need an approachable, energetic presence. It also works well for posters, packaging, and short editorial callouts where its rounded contrast and bold silhouette can carry the message without relying on fine detail.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a distinctly retro, “soft-tech” feel. Its chunky forms and rounded geometry create a friendly, confident voice that leans playful rather than austere or corporate.
The design appears intended as a contemporary display sans that channels mid-century/retro friendliness through wide, rounded construction, while adding enough contrast and structure to remain crisp and legible at larger sizes.
Several glyphs emphasize circularity (notably O/o/0-like forms), reinforcing a buoyant, bubble-like texture in words. The lowercase includes single-storey shapes and compact joints that keep the text color lively and informal, while the numerals match the same rounded, display-forward character.
