A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a compact internal rhythm. Strokes are consistently thick with soft, eased corners and gently squared terminals, giving the shapes a sturdy, cushioned feel. Counters are relatively small for the weight, while curves remain smooth and circular in letters like C, O, and S. The uppercase is blocky and stable; the lowercase is simple and sturdy with single-storey a and g, short extenders, and wide, open joins that keep forms from clogging at display sizes. Numerals match the letters in weight and blunt, rounded construction, with straightforward, highly legible silhouettes.
Best suited for display roles such as headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and signage where its bold, rounded forms can read quickly from a distance. It can also work for short UI labels or emphasis text when spacing is adjusted to prevent crowding in longer passages.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, combining a friendly roundness with an assertive, headline-ready presence. It feels contemporary and informal rather than corporate, projecting warmth and confidence without becoming whimsical or decorative.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, geometric softness—prioritizing solid shapes, easy recognition, and a modern, approachable voice for attention-grabbing typography.
The design emphasizes silhouette clarity over fine detail: wide bowls, blunt ends, and minimal stroke modulation create strong word shapes. In dense settings the tight counters and heavy joins can darken, so it visually performs best with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
