A heavy, rounded sans with soft, squarish curves and a distinctly superelliptical construction. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and corners are broadly eased rather than sharply cut, giving letters a cushiony, block-like feel. Counters are generous and mostly open, while terminals tend to be blunt and slightly irregular in edge rhythm, contributing to an informal texture. The lowercase reads compact and sturdy, with single-storey forms and simplified joins that keep silhouettes bold and graphic.
Best suited for display use where its weight and rounded geometry can carry personality—logos, brand wordmarks, packaging, signage, and poster headlines. It can also work for short bursts of UI or social content where a friendly, high-impact sans is desired, while longer body text may feel dense due to the heavy strokes.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, leaning playful and slightly quirky rather than strictly neutral. Its chunky shapes and softened geometry suggest a friendly, contemporary voice suited to informal communication and upbeat branding.
The design appears intended to blend geometric clarity with a softened, humanized edge, prioritizing immediacy and friendliness over strict technical precision. It aims to deliver a bold, contemporary look with a playful, approachable character that remains highly legible at larger sizes.
Round letters like O/C/G and the bowls in B/P/R feel more like rounded rectangles than perfect circles, creating a distinct geometric personality. Diacritics and punctuation aren’t shown here, but the displayed set maintains a consistent softness across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
