A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and smooth, circular curves throughout. Strokes are uniformly thick with softened joins and subtly rounded corners, producing sturdy letterforms without sharp tension. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to be modest, giving a dense, punchy texture in words while keeping forms clean and legible. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey structures (notably a and g) and short, solid arms and terminals; numerals are broad and weighty with rounded bowls and clear silhouettes.
Best suited to headline and display settings where its dense weight and rounded geometry can read as intentional and characterful—brand marks, packaging callouts, posters, social graphics, and UI banners. For longer text, it will benefit from larger sizes and increased line spacing to maintain openness and comfort.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a friendly, contemporary voice. Its bold, cushioned shapes feel confident and upbeat, leaning toward playful branding energy rather than strict utilitarian neutrality.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, friendly sans voice that feels modern and accessible, combining geometric roundness with softened corners for a sturdy, inviting presence in branding and display typography.
In the sample text the heavy rhythm creates strong word shapes and clear emphasis, especially in headlines. The rounded construction helps reduce harshness at large sizes, while the tighter counters and compact spacing can make dense paragraphs feel visually dark unless given generous leading.
