A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and compact internal apertures. Strokes are thick and even, with gently curved joins and softened corners that keep the shapes friendly rather than rigid. Uppercase forms are wide and stable, while the lowercase shows a tall x-height with single-storey shapes (notably a and g) and simple, sturdy terminals. Numerals are large and bluntly contoured, matching the letterforms with round bowls and firm horizontal cuts.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, friendly presence is needed. It also fits packaging and signage that benefits from high-impact, rounded letterforms. For longer passages, it works most comfortably in short blocks or large sizes where its dense shapes can breathe.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, projecting a straightforward, contemporary energy. Its rounded geometry reads friendly and accessible, while the dense weight and wide stance add confidence and impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with an approachable, rounded personality—combining sturdy, simplified construction with generous proportions for clear, attention-grabbing display typography.
The rhythm is tight and emphatic, with counters that stay open enough for display use but feel intentionally compact for a strong, stamped look. In text, the weight and width create a headline-forward voice where short phrases and key words take on a poster-like presence.
