A compact, rounded sans with monoline strokes and softly squared curves. The letterforms favor vertical, slightly condensed proportions, with wide, rounded terminals and gentle joins that keep counters open in most shapes. Curves feel drawn from simple geometric primitives but with a subtly human touch in the rhythm and spacing, creating a sturdy, even texture in words. Numerals match the same soft, heavy construction, with clear, simple silhouettes intended for quick recognition.
Well suited to short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, labels, and storefront-style signage. Its compact width helps fit titles into tight spaces, while the rounded weight and steady rhythm make it effective for branding and packaging where a friendly, bold voice is needed.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a playful, mid-century sign-painting and packaging feel. Its chunky softness reads friendly rather than technical, making text feel approachable and slightly nostalgic.
Designed to provide a sturdy, easily readable sans with softened geometry and a compact footprint. The emphasis appears to be on creating a welcoming display face that retains clarity and consistency across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Uppercase forms present a strong, blocky presence, while lowercase maintains legibility through open bowls and straightforward construction. The rounded end treatments and compact proportions help maintain clarity at larger display sizes, while the dense color can become prominent in longer text settings.
