A heavy, softly rounded sans with monoline strokes and consistently curved terminals. Letterforms are compact with generous counters and smooth joins, producing an even, sturdy texture in both uppercase and lowercase. Curves are broadly drawn (notably in C, G, O, S), while straight strokes keep rounded corners rather than sharp edges; diagonals in A, K, V, W, X and Y remain thick and stable. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms (a, g) and short, rounded extenders, and the figures are similarly rounded and solid with clear silhouettes.
Well suited to branding and packaging where a friendly, rounded voice is desired, and for headlines, posters, and signage that need bold presence with soft edges. It also works for short UI labels or callouts when an approachable, informal tone is preferred over a neutral grotesk.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a buoyant, slightly retro personality driven by the soft corners and chunky proportions. It feels informal and welcoming, prioritizing friendliness and readability over crisp, technical precision.
The typeface appears intended to deliver strong impact with a gentle, rounded finish—combining solid weight and compact proportions with softened geometry for a personable, modern-retro feel.
The design maintains a consistent stroke weight and corner radius across the set, which helps it hold together well in dense lines of text. Spacing appears balanced and compact, giving paragraphs a cohesive, dark-but-even rhythm without looking cramped.
