A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and smooth, open counters. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and corners are softened rather than sharp, giving the forms a molded, geometric feel. The lowercase is built on a tall x-height with compact ascenders/descenders; bowls and apertures stay generous at this weight, supporting clarity in dense settings. Numerals and capitals follow the same wide, stable construction, emphasizing strong horizontal presence and even texture in lines of text.
Well-suited to headlines, large-format graphics, and branding systems that need immediate impact. It also works for signage and UI moments that call for high emphasis, where its open counters and straightforward forms can stay readable under strong weight.
The tone is bold and upbeat, pairing approachability with a strong, assertive voice. Its rounded geometry reads contemporary and friendly rather than severe, making it feel energetic and attention-grabbing without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through broad, rounded geometry and dense typographic color, while retaining clear letter differentiation for practical display use.
At display sizes it creates a solid, uniform color with a distinctly wide rhythm, while in paragraphs the tall x-height and open shapes help maintain legibility despite the heavy weight. The overall impression is sturdy and grounded, with a clean, no-nonsense silhouette.
