A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and compact, sturdy construction. Curves are smooth and near-geometric, with counters kept fairly open for the weight, while terminals read as blunt and softly squared rather than sharply cut. The overall rhythm is even and steady, with minimal stroke modulation and a solid, poster-like color on the page.
This face performs best in attention-grabbing settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand wordmarks. Its rounded, high-mass shapes also make it effective for signage and social graphics where a friendly, strong voice is needed.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, pairing a friendly roundness with a confident, emphatic presence. It feels contemporary and informal, suited to messaging that wants to be bold without looking aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a warm, approachable character—combining geometric round forms, simplified details, and blunt endings to stay legible and friendly at display sizes.
Round letters like O/C/G show generous, smooth bowls; the lowercase a is single-storey and the g is single-storey with a rounded ear, reinforcing an informal, modern feel. Diacritics aren’t shown, but the numerals appear rounded and sturdy with clear silhouettes at large sizes.
