A heavy, rounded sans with largely geometric construction and softly finished terminals. Curves are smooth and fairly circular, while joins stay clean and simplified, producing a crisp silhouette at display sizes. Proportions are compact with relatively short lowercase bodies and generous interior counters that keep letters open despite the weight. The overall rhythm is steady and even, with straightforward forms and minimal stroke modulation, emphasizing bold shapes over calligraphic detail.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and identity work where a strong, friendly presence is needed. It performs well in posters, packaging, signage, and logo-like wordmarks, and can handle short UI labels or callouts when ample size and spacing are available.
The tone is approachable and contemporary, with a buoyant, slightly playful feel driven by the roundness and compact proportions. Its solid color and simplified geometry read as confident and upbeat rather than formal or delicate.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern geometric sans that stays warm and inviting through rounded forms and open counters, while maintaining enough firmness for impactful display typography.
Distinctive round punctuation (notably the i/j dots) and the broad, circular bowls in letters like o, p, and q reinforce a friendly, geometric voice. Numerals match the letterforms with the same stout weight and smooth curves, keeping a consistent texture in mixed text.
