A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and smooth, low-contrast strokes. Forms lean on circular and oval geometry, with softened corners and generous curves that keep the texture cohesive at large sizes. Counters are relatively compact and apertures tend toward closed, producing a dense, punchy color on the page. Terminals are clean and blunt, and the overall rhythm feels steady and blocky rather than airy or calligraphic.
Best suited to display settings where a thick, rounded voice is desirable—headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks. It can work for short UI labels or signage when sizes are generous, but longer passages will benefit from extra spacing to maintain clarity.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a bold, high-impact presence that reads as modern-retro. Its rounded construction softens the weight, giving it a friendly, consumer-facing energy while still feeling assertive and attention-grabbing.
The design appears aimed at delivering a friendly, high-impact display sans built from rounded geometry, prioritizing strong presence and a cohesive, soft-edged silhouette for contemporary branding and editorial headlines.
In the sample text, the strong weight and tight internal spaces make it most comfortable when set with ample tracking and line spacing. The numerals match the letterforms in roundness and mass, reinforcing a consistent, chunky headline texture.
