A heavy, rounded sans with broad, compact proportions and softened corners throughout. Curves are smooth and generous, with minimal stroke modulation and large, open counters that keep dense forms from clogging. Joins and terminals read as clean and sturdy rather than sharp, giving diagonals and bowls a slightly cushioned feel. Overall spacing is even and the silhouette stays consistent across letters, producing a solid, poster-like texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, display copy, and branding where a strong, friendly presence is needed—such as packaging, signage, social graphics, and UI hero text. It can also work for short subheads and labels when ample spacing is available, but it’s most effective when used large for maximum clarity and impact.
The overall tone is friendly and approachable while still feeling confident and assertive. Its soft geometry and chunky weight suggest a contemporary, upbeat voice suited to casual brands and attention-grabbing messaging without feeling aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a welcoming, rounded voice: a sturdy geometric framework, simplified details, and smooth curves aimed at legibility and personality in display settings.
Capitals are wide and stable with rounded interior shapes, while the lowercase keeps a simple, utilitarian construction with single-storey forms where expected and straightforward, readable numerals. The boldness creates strong word shapes, especially in short headlines, while longer passages become visually dense unless given generous size and leading.
