Numerals follow the same rounded logic, with simple, highly legible shapes and compact interior spaces that remain clear.
Best suited for short to medium-length display copy such as headlines, posters, brand wordmarks, packaging, and bold signage. The heavy weight and open shapes help it hold up in large-scale applications and in high-contrast layouts, where a friendly, modern voice is desired.
The font reads friendly and contemporary, with a soft, approachable tone that feels upbeat rather than formal. Its rounded geometry and dense color give it a confident, poster-ready presence while still staying clean and uncomplicated.
