A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and large, open counters. Strokes are thick and steady with softened corners and minimal modulation, producing a dense, even color on the page. Curves are broadly elliptical (notably in C, G, O, and S), while terminals are generally blunt and squared-off, giving the design a blocky but approachable silhouette. Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy with single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a wide, friendly n/m construction; numerals are equally bold with rounded bowls and strong baseline presence.
Best suited to display use where boldness and immediacy are priorities—headlines, posters, signage, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for short UI labels or callouts when a friendly, high-contrast-by-weight look is desired, but its dense mass is most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is bold and outgoing—warmly approachable rather than clinical. Its rounded geometry and chunky weight read as slightly retro and playful, with a straightforward, no-nonsense confidence that suits attention-grabbing messaging.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a soft, rounded voice: a sturdy geometric skeleton, simplified letterforms, and generous counters that keep the type lively and readable at display scales.
Spacing appears tuned for impact: the heavy strokes and compact letter shapes create strong word silhouettes and high visual presence in short lines. The cut-ins and apertures (especially in G and S) help maintain clarity despite the dense weight.
