A heavy, rounded sans with broadly geometric construction and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes are thick and even, with softened terminals and generous counters that keep the forms open despite the weight. Uppercase shapes read clean and stable, while the lowercase shows single-storey a and g and a sturdy, straightforward rhythm; the j has a prominent dot and a strong descender. Figures are robust and clear, with simple, compact forms that match the overall geometry.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where strong presence and clarity are needed, such as branding systems, logo wordmarks, posters, and packaging. The large interior spaces and open apertures help it stay readable at larger sizes and in bold typographic layouts.
The overall tone is friendly and contemporary, combining a solid, dependable presence with a slightly playful softness. Its rounded detailing and open shapes give it an approachable voice that still feels assertive and high-impact in display settings.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, approachable sans voice with strong visual weight, prioritizing clean geometry, smooth curves, and legibility for prominent display typography.
The design leans on circular bowls and squared-off horizontals to create a consistent, logo-ready silhouette. Diagonals (like in A, V, W, X, Y) are crisp and confident, while curved letters (C, G, S) maintain a smooth, even flow without sharp modulation.
