A heavy, rounded sans with broad curves and softened joins that keep the black shapes cohesive and smooth. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend to be tight, giving letters a compact, sturdy silhouette. Terminals are blunt and clean, with simple geometric construction across rounds and straights; diagonals (like in K, V, W, X) feel thick and stable rather than sharp. Lowercase forms are straightforward and single-story where expected (notably the a and g), with a large, circular i-dot and generally even rhythm in text.
Best suited for display settings where strong presence is needed—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and bold UI or signage labels. It can work for short-to-medium text when set with generous size and spacing, but the dense color and tight openings suggest avoiding long, small-size passages.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, leaning friendly rather than severe. Its rounded shapes and dense color create a confident, accessible voice that reads as contemporary and slightly playful, with a poster-like presence even in short phrases.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded voice—prioritizing solid silhouettes, consistent geometry, and easy recognition in attention-grabbing contexts.
Because counters and apertures are on the tight side, texture becomes quite dark in paragraphs, especially where letters cluster. Numerals match the letterforms’ chunky, rounded logic and hold up well as stand-alone figures, reinforcing a strong, graphic personality.
