A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and smoothly curved outlines. Strokes are uniform and dense, with softened corners and blunt terminals that give letters a molded, cushiony feel. Counters tend to be compact—especially in forms like a, e, and g—while bowls and rounds stay generous, producing a strong, even texture. Uppercase shapes are simple and stable, and the lowercase maintains clear silhouettes with minimal interior detailing and a single-storey a and g.
Best suited to headlines, short copy, and bold branding where strong presence and a friendly voice are needed. It performs well on posters, packaging, signage, and social graphics, especially when set with generous spacing and ample size to keep counters clear.
The overall tone is warm and upbeat, reading as friendly and modern rather than technical. Its thick, rounded construction feels confident and approachable, with a slightly playful, poster-like presence.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a soft, approachable personality, pairing high visual weight with rounded geometry for contemporary, consumer-facing communication.
The design favors closed or narrow apertures in letters like S and e, which increases visual solidity at larger sizes. Numerals are equally weighty and rounded, matching the letterforms for cohesive display use.
