A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and smooth, geometric curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and corners are generally softened, producing a sturdy, cushiony silhouette. Counters are relatively small and openings are moderately closed, especially in letters like a, e, and s, which increases density at text sizes. The lowercase uses single-storey forms (notably a and g), and the overall rhythm is compact and bold with slightly varied character widths across the set.
Best suited for headlines, short statements, and display settings where bold presence is the goal—such as posters, packaging, brand marks, and large-format signage. It can also work for playful UI accents or promotional graphics, while longer text will benefit from larger sizes and extra tracking to maintain clarity.
The font reads as upbeat and approachable, with a bold, poster-like confidence. Its rounded geometry and dense color give it a friendly, toy-like energy that can also feel retro and attention-grabbing. Overall it projects warmth and immediacy rather than restraint or formality.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded voice: a geometric, heavy sans built for legibility at display sizes and for creating a strong, unified typographic color. The single-storey lowercase and compact counters reinforce an informal, contemporary-to-retro display personality.
Numerals appear strong and highly graphic, matching the rounded, heavy construction of the letters. The sample text shows an even texture at large sizes, but the tight apertures and small counters suggest it will feel most comfortable when given generous size and spacing.
