A heavy, rounded sans with chunky strokes and softened corners throughout. Curves are broad and smooth, with large, nearly circular bowls and counters that keep letters open at display sizes. Terminals tend to look blunt and slightly eased rather than sharply cut, and many joins feel gently rounded, giving the forms a cohesive, molded look. Uppercase shapes are compact and sturdy; lowercase maintains simple, single-storey constructions with a straightforward, geometric rhythm. Numerals follow the same robust, rounded construction for consistent texture in mixed settings.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a friendly, attention-grabbing sans is desired. It also works effectively for signage and social graphics that need bold readability and a warm, approachable character.
The overall tone is friendly and upbeat, with a bold, approachable presence that reads as informal and contemporary with a hint of retro signage. Its chunky weight and rounded geometry create a warm, confident voice that feels more expressive than neutral.
Designed to deliver high-impact typography with a soft, approachable edge—combining geometric, rounded construction with substantial stroke weight to create a confident display voice that remains easy to read at larger sizes.
The heavy mass and rounded detailing create strong color on the page, favoring short-to-medium setting where impact is the goal. Counters remain fairly generous for such a heavy style, helping clarity in headline text, while the overall compactness can make long passages feel dense.
