A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and broad, stable proportions. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and curves are built from smooth circular forms that keep counters open despite the weight. Terminals tend to be blunt and gently rounded, giving letters a compact, sturdy silhouette. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey construction and a clear, geometric rhythm, while numerals are similarly chunky with friendly, softened joints.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a friendly but assertive voice is needed. It can also work well for short UI labels, badges, and social media graphics where high contrast against the background and quick recognition matter.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a playful, slightly retro character driven by rounded geometry and stout forms. Its dense black shapes feel confident and attention-grabbing without becoming sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to provide a robust, modern sans with softened geometry—prioritizing impact and friendliness over delicacy. Its rounded terminals and simple constructions suggest a focus on clear, approachable display typography for branding and messaging.
At display sizes the letterforms read clearly and maintain even texture, with a strong baseline presence and consistent spacing in the sample text. The bold massing can make long passages feel dense, but it delivers a highly legible, high-impact word shape for short messages.
