A heavy, rounded sans with smooth, continuous curves and largely uniform stroke weight. Terminals are softly finished, and corners are eased rather than sharp, giving letters a cushioned, approachable silhouette. Counters are open and clear, with broad curves in C/G/O and sturdy verticals in H/I/N, creating a stable, highly legible rhythm. The overall proportions feel slightly compact and sturdy, with simple, unembellished shapes and consistent spacing that reads cleanly in blocks of text.
Works well for branding, packaging, posters, and social media graphics where a friendly, bold presence is needed. It can also suit UI labels or navigation at medium-to-large sizes when a soft, approachable tone is preferred over a sharper, more neutral sans.
The tone is friendly and informal, with a warm, slightly playful personality driven by the rounded terminals and generous curves. It feels contemporary and accessible rather than technical or severe, lending a relaxed voice to headlines and short statements.
Likely designed to provide a robust, highly legible sans with rounded geometry that feels welcoming and contemporary. The emphasis appears to be on clarity and impact with softened edges, balancing strong weight with an easygoing, approachable character.
Round letters and numerals keep a consistent softness, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) remain sturdy and weighty without becoming spiky. The lowercase includes single-storey forms where expected in a rounded geometric sans, reinforcing the casual, straightforward feel.
