A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and broadly curved geometry. Strokes are thick and even with gently modulated joins, producing sturdy, dark letterforms and smooth contours. Counters are compact but clear, and many terminals end in rounded, slightly flattened shapes that reinforce a cushioned look. Proportions feel generous and horizontally open, with simple, largely geometric construction across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display roles where its weight and rounded construction can carry personality: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and attention-grabbing signage. It can work for short text blocks when ample size and spacing are available, but the strong color and tight counters favor punchy, concise messaging.
The overall tone is warm and casual, with a buoyant, slightly retro friendliness. Its rounded massing and softened corners read as approachable and informal rather than technical or austere, making it feel inviting and upbeat.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, friendly display voice by combining simple sans structures with rounded corners and substantial stroke width. The consistent soft shaping suggests a focus on approachability and high-impact readability at larger sizes.
The lowercase shows single-storey forms where expected (notably the ‘g’), and the numerals follow the same rounded, heavy logic for a cohesive texture in mixed settings. In text, the dense weight creates strong emphasis and a pronounced rhythm, especially in headlines and short lines.
