A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and compact counters that stay open enough for clear recognition at display sizes. Strokes are consistently thick with gently softened corners and smooth, circular curves, giving the forms a sturdy, geometric foundation without feeling sharp. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a round i/j dot, and a simple, utilitarian construction overall; figures are large and bold with straightforward shapes.
Best suited for headlines and short-to-medium display text where strong presence is needed—posters, branding marks, packaging callouts, and large-format signage. It can also work for bold UI labels or section headers, especially where a friendly, rounded voice is desired.
The tone is bold and approachable, combining a friendly roundness with an assertive, poster-like presence. It reads as contemporary and upbeat, with a slightly playful warmth that keeps the weight from feeling severe.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a welcoming, rounded geometry—prioritizing clear silhouettes, simple constructions, and a contemporary display feel for attention-grabbing typography.
Spacing appears comfortable for big headlines, and the heavy weight makes internal shapes (like in a, e, s, and 8) notably compact, which strengthens silhouette recognition and visual impact. The overall rhythm is even and consistent, favoring solid blocks of text over delicate detail.
