A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and smooth, softened corners. Curves are broadly drawn and full, counters are open but not airy, and terminals tend to finish with gentle rounding rather than sharp cuts. Strokes maintain an even, solid presence throughout, producing a consistent, blocky rhythm that stays legible at larger sizes. The lowercase shows simple, sturdy constructions with single-storey forms where expected, and the numerals match the same rounded, weighty structure for a cohesive overall texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where a loud, friendly presence is needed. It also works well for short UI labels or signage when you want high visibility and a softer, less aggressive feel than square grotesques.
The tone is bold and welcoming, trading sharp precision for warmth and softness. Its chunky shapes and rounded details give it an upbeat, approachable character that feels contemporary and slightly playful rather than formal.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a warm, rounded voice: a sturdy display sans that stays simple and readable while projecting friendliness and confidence.
Spacing reads slightly tight in text, creating dense, high-impact lines. The caps are particularly strong and compact, and round letters (like O/C) feel generously filled, reinforcing a poster-friendly color on the page.
