A heavy, rounded sans with broad, low-contrast strokes and smooth, swelling curves. Letterforms lean on simple geometric construction with softened joins, producing wide bowls and sturdy verticals. Terminals are mostly blunt and slightly rounded, with occasional angled cuts that add snap to diagonals and corners. Spacing appears generous for the weight, keeping counters open and maintaining legibility at large sizes while preserving a dense, compact color in text.
Best suited for display applications where strong typographic impact is needed, such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and retail or event signage. It can work for short blocks of text at larger sizes, where its open counters and rounded forms remain clear.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a bold, extroverted presence. Its rounded geometry and soft edges feel friendly and contemporary, while the sheer weight gives it an assertive, attention-grabbing voice suited to energetic branding.
Designed to deliver a friendly, modern display voice with maximum presence: thick strokes, rounded geometry, and simplified construction prioritize clarity and memorability over delicate detail. The consistent heft and softened shapes suggest an intention to feel approachable while still reading as bold and confident.
Uppercase forms read as solid and uniform, while the lowercase introduces a more casual rhythm with single-storey shapes and prominent dots on i/j. Numerals are robust and highly visible, matching the rounded, geometric feel of the letters and maintaining consistent stroke strength across the set.
