A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a compact, tightly built color on the page. Strokes are uniform and low in modulation, with smooth curve joins and softened corners that keep the mass from feeling sharp. Counters are relatively small and enclosed, while apertures are modest, creating a dense, poster-like texture in words. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g,” round bowls, and short terminals; numerals are similarly wide-set with sturdy, geometric forms.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging callouts, and bold signage where its dense color and rounded shapes can carry impact. It also works well for short UI or display labels that benefit from strong emphasis and high presence.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, combining a friendly softness with an assertive, attention-grabbing presence. It reads as contemporary and energetic, with a slightly playful, sporty feel that suits upbeat messaging.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual impact with a friendly, rounded voice—prioritizing bold readability and a contemporary, geometric simplicity for display-driven applications.
In continuous text, the strong weight and tight internal spaces produce a dark, cohesive rhythm, making the face most comfortable at larger sizes. The wide silhouette and rounded geometry give headlines a stable, grounded look, especially in short phrases and stacked layouts.
