A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a compact vertical rhythm. Strokes are uniform and dense, with softly curved joins and terminals that keep the silhouettes smooth rather than sharp. Counters are generally tight and geometric, and round characters (O, Q, 0) read as near-circular forms with substantial interior space. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and blocky, stable stems that create an even, chunky texture in text.
Best suited for short, prominent settings such as headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and bold signage where strong presence is needed. It can work for brief callouts or UI labels at larger sizes, but the dense weight and tight counters make it less ideal for long passages of small body text.
The overall tone is confident and approachable, with a playful, slightly retro personality. Its rounded geometry and heavy weight give it a friendly “headline” voice that feels energetic and attention-grabbing rather than formal.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a clean, geometric construction and softened contours, balancing clarity with a warm, approachable character. The consistent, heavy stroke language suggests a focus on display readability and strong visual branding.
Spacing appears generous for a display face, helping the dense letterforms stay legible at large sizes. Numerals are sturdy and simple, matching the same rounded, geometric construction as the letters.
