A heavy, open sans with softly rounded joins and slightly flared, wedge-like terminals that add a subtle calligraphic edge to otherwise clean construction. Curves are broad and full, with generous counters in letters like O, e, and a, while vertical stems stay steady and dominant. The uppercase reads wide and stable with squared shoulders on forms like E and F, and the lowercase shows a single-storey a and g with smooth bowls and clear apertures. Numerals are robust and round, matching the overall dark color and even rhythm.
Well suited for headlines, posters, and brand marks where a solid, welcoming sans is needed with a bit of character. It can also work effectively for packaging and signage thanks to its strong weight and open counters that hold up at a distance.
The tone is warm and personable rather than severe, pairing a strong presence with softened details. It carries a mild retro and editorial flavor—confident and bold in voice, but still approachable and friendly in texture.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact readability with a friendly, humanized edge—keeping the clarity of a straightforward sans while adding softened terminals and rounded structure for a more expressive, contemporary-leaning display voice.
The combination of hefty stems, open interior space, and lightly tapered terminals creates a distinct silhouette at display sizes while remaining readable in short text. Letterforms maintain consistent curvature and spacing, producing a steady, even texture across lines.
