A heavy, compact sans with a rounded-rectangle construction and soft, blunted corners throughout. Curves are smooth and broad, counters are relatively tight, and joins feel sturdy, producing dense, poster-ready silhouettes. Strokes stay largely even, with only minor optical modulation, and many forms lean toward geometric, superelliptical bowls (notably in O, C, G, and the numerals). Lowercase shapes are tall and sturdy, with short ascenders/descenders and simple, utilitarian detailing (single-storey a, round dot on i, and a robust, vertical-shouldered n/m).
Well suited for headlines, posters, labels, and packaging where a bold, friendly impact is needed. It also fits logo wordmarks, product names, and short UI callouts, especially when clarity must be maintained at a glance. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable when set larger with generous line spacing to offset the dense texture.
The overall tone is bold and approachable: friendly due to the softened geometry, but assertive because of the dense weight and compact spacing. It suggests a playful, slightly retro display voice that reads as energetic and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a softened geometric feel—combining stout proportions and rounded-rectangle curves to create a modern, approachable display sans that stays legible while projecting confidence.
In text, the strong mass and tight counters create a pronounced dark color, making it best at larger sizes where interior shapes open up. The numerals and capitals share the same rounded-rectangular logic, helping the set feel consistent and brandable in headlines and short bursts of copy.
