A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and softly eased corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick and even, with large counters that stay open despite the dense weight. Curves are smooth and near-circular, while joins and terminals favor blunt, squared-off cuts that keep shapes stable and graphic. Overall spacing and rhythm feel tight and punchy, producing a strong blocky silhouette in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where weight and round forms can do the work—posters, branding marks, packaging, and bold UI or wayfinding labels. Its solid shapes and open counters help it hold up at medium-to-large sizes, especially on high-contrast backgrounds.
The tone is bold and upbeat, combining a friendly roundness with a confident, poster-like presence. It reads as contemporary and approachable rather than formal, with a slightly playful character that works well when you want warmth without losing impact.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with an approachable, rounded voice, prioritizing clear silhouettes and simple, geometric construction. The overall effect suggests a display-oriented sans meant to be noticed quickly and read confidently in prominent settings.
The lowercase shows single-storey forms and simplified construction that reinforces the geometric, rounded feel. Numerals are equally weighty and prominent, matching the letters for strong, cohesive display settings.
