A heavy, rounded sans with softly squared curves and blunt, sheared terminals that give strokes a slightly chiseled finish. Round letters like O, C, and G are broad and smooth with generous counters, while verticals stay sturdy and even, producing a stable texture in text. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, compact shoulders, and short, rounded arms on letters like t and f; dots are circular and prominent. Numerals are robust and open, with curved forms that match the letter shapes and a generally consistent stroke rhythm across the set.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, and display copy where a bold, rounded voice is needed. Its sturdy shapes and open counters can also work for branding and packaging, especially when a friendly, slightly vintage impression is desirable. For longer passages, it will create a strong, dark texture best used at comfortable sizes with ample line spacing.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with a subtly retro, sign-painter-like softness created by rounded geometry and clipped ends. It feels confident and readable without becoming rigid or technical, leaning more toward casual clarity than corporate neutrality.
The design intention appears to be a characterful, rounded sans that balances high impact with approachability. By pairing sturdy proportions with softly clipped terminals and single-storey lowercase forms, it aims to deliver a distinctive display voice that remains straightforward to read.
Spacing appears comfortable and the dark weight produces strong color on the page, making the face hold together well in short lines and headings. Distinctive angled terminals add character without introducing sharp corners, helping the design stay friendly while still feeling intentional and graphic.
