A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and smooth, simplified geometry. Strokes are thick and even, with gently softened corners and largely circular bowls, producing compact interior counters in letters like a, e, and s. Uppercase forms read sturdy and poster-like, while the lowercase keeps a single-storey a and g and a robust, blocky rhythm. The overall spacing and shapes favor solid silhouettes and clear word blocks over delicate detail.
Best suited to large sizes where its heavy, rounded shapes can deliver impact—headlines, posters, packaging, and retail or wayfinding signage. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when a friendly, high-visibility tone is needed, but will feel dense in long passages due to its thick strokes and tight counters.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a slightly retro, display-driven presence. Its thick, rounded forms feel friendly and energetic, leaning toward playful branding rather than formal text typography.
The design appears intended to provide a confident, approachable display voice built from simple, rounded shapes with strong visual weight. It prioritizes bold silhouettes and an even, geometric rhythm for attention-grabbing typography.
Round letters (O, C, G, Q) show strong circular construction, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) stay wide and weighty, maintaining consistent visual density. Numerals are equally bold and rounded, designed to match the letterforms in color and impact.
