A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and soft exterior corners. Strokes are largely monolinear with minimal contrast, producing a dense, even color in text. Curves are generously rounded (notably in C, G, O, S and the bowls of B/P/R), while terminals tend toward blunt, squared finishes. Counters are moderately open, and joins are smooth and simplified, giving the face a sturdy, utilitarian rhythm suited to larger sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a bold, friendly voice is needed. The dense stroke weight and rounded shapes help it hold up in display sizes and on signage, while short bursts of text maintain clarity without feeling overly rigid.
The overall tone is friendly and grounded, with a slightly retro, sign-painting-adjacent warmth. Its rounded geometry reads approachable rather than technical, and the strong weight gives it an assertive, dependable presence for short statements.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, highly legible display sans with softened geometry—pairing assertive weight with rounded, approachable shapes for attention-grabbing, everyday communication.
The lowercase includes single-storey a and g, reinforcing an informal, contemporary feel. Figures are robust and legible with broad forms and simple construction, matching the letterforms’ rounded, compact character.
