A heavy, rounded sans with broad, soft curves and compact joins that create a chunky, cushioned silhouette. Strokes are largely monolinear with gently tapered terminals in a few places, and counters stay relatively open for the weight. Uppercase forms are wide and stable, while lowercase shapes feel lively with single-storey a and g, a deep, curved j descender, and a short-shouldered r. The figures are sturdy and simple, with an open 4 and smoothly rounded bowls on 6/8/9.
Well suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and brand identities that want a warm, approachable voice. It also works for short UI or signage labels where a soft, friendly tone is desired, especially at sizes large enough to keep counters clearly open.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, leaning toward playful display rather than strict neutrality. Its soft geometry and bouncy rhythm make it feel welcoming and contemporary, with a slightly cartoonish warmth that reads well at larger sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, rounded voice with clear, simplified shapes and a personable rhythm. It prioritizes visual friendliness and impact over strict text neutrality, aiming for a modern, upbeat presence in display contexts.
Round letters (C, G, O, Q) emphasize smooth circular construction, and the Q has a clear, uncomplicated tail. Diacritics shown (i/j dots) appear as clean round points, reinforcing the soft, geometric character. The weight creates strong presence, but tight interior spaces in a few letters suggest it will be most comfortable from medium to large settings.
