A sturdy sans with generously rounded geometry and soft, slightly squarish curves. Strokes stay even throughout, with smooth joins and mostly closed, controlled counters, producing a compact, solid texture in text. The lowercase shows straightforward construction with a single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and broad bowls on b/p/q; numerals follow the same rounded, sturdy logic with simple, highly readable forms. Overall spacing feels comfortable and stable, supporting dense setting without looking cramped.
Well suited to branding and packaging where a friendly, contemporary voice is needed, and strong enough for posters and other headline-driven layouts. Its sturdy shapes and open, readable forms also make it effective for short-to-medium text in signage and UI-like applications where clarity at a glance matters.
The overall tone is friendly and contemporary, balancing a confident, weighty presence with softened corners that keep it approachable. Its rounded forms add a subtle playfulness, making it feel personable rather than strictly technical.
Designed to deliver a modern, approachable sans voice with rounded construction and reliable readability. The emphasis appears to be on bold presence, clean rhythm, and uncomplicated letterforms that reproduce clearly across sizes.
Round characters (C, G, O, Q) lean toward near-circular construction, while straighter letters (E, F, H, N) maintain slightly eased corners that reduce sharpness. The sample text shows a consistent rhythm and strong word shapes, with clear differentiation between similar forms and no fussy detailing.
