A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and strongly simplified geometry. Strokes are thick and even, with soft corners and broad curves that make counters feel tight and sturdy. Terminals are mostly blunt, and the overall construction leans geometric—round letters read as near-circular, while straight-sided forms stay clean and blocky. The lowercase is straightforward and uncluttered, with a single-storey “a” and “g” and large, circular dots on “i/j,” giving the design a robust, poster-like texture in text.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, and brand marks where a friendly, high-impact presence is needed. It can work well for packaging, event graphics, and bold UI moments (buttons, badges, hero banners), especially when set with generous spacing to keep counters from filling in at smaller sizes.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a bold friendliness that reads as contemporary and slightly playful. Its rounded massing and smooth shapes project warmth and confidence rather than precision or formality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a warm, rounded personality—prioritizing simple, geometric letterforms and strong silhouettes for immediate readability and character in display settings.
In the grid and sample text, the dense weight and relatively small internal spaces make it happiest at larger sizes, where the rounded details and clean silhouettes stay distinct. Numerals match the same chunky, geometric feel, reinforcing a cohesive, high-impact voice across headlines and short statements.
