A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and compact interior counters. Strokes stay consistently thick with gently softened corners, producing smooth, bulb-like curves in letters like C, G, O, and S while keeping terminals mostly blunt. The lowercase is sturdy and simple, with single-storey a and g, circular i/j dots, and minimal modulation; the t has a short, sturdy crossbar. Numerals are bold and open, with straightforward, readable shapes that match the letters’ weight and width.
Best suited for headlines, display typography, posters, and high-impact branding where large, bold letterforms are needed. It can work for short UI labels or signage that benefits from sturdy shapes, but longer passages may feel dense due to the compact counters and heavy texture.
The tone is assertive and upbeat, with a friendly softness that keeps the weight from feeling harsh. It reads as contemporary and energetic—more about impact and approachability than precision or formality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a friendly, rounded voice—prioritizing strong silhouette, quick recognition, and a cohesive, modern look across letters and numerals.
In text, the tight counters and strong color create a dense texture that holds together well at large sizes. Curved letters maintain an even rhythm, while joins and apertures stay relatively closed, emphasizing solidity over airiness.
