A very heavy sans with rounded, soft-cornered construction and a compact overall feel. Strokes are thick and even, with broad curves and blunt terminals that keep counters relatively small and forms visually dense. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with single-storey shapes where applicable (notably the g) and a straightforward, utilitarian rhythm. Diacritics and details are minimal, emphasizing solid silhouettes and strong on/off contrast against the page.
Best suited for short, prominent text such as headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and bold signage where strong silhouettes matter. It can also work for attention-grabbing UI labels or social graphics, but the dense counters and heavy weight make it less comfortable for extended small-size reading.
The font reads as friendly and high-impact, with a casual, approachable tone rather than a technical or refined one. Its chunky shapes and rounded joins give it a playful warmth, while the sheer weight delivers confidence and immediacy in messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded voice—prioritizing solid legibility at display sizes and a simple, contemporary shape language that stays recognizable under bold settings.
Round letters like O/C/G show generous curvature and thickened interior spaces, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) stay stable and blocky. Numerals are bold and compact, designed to hold their presence alongside the uppercase without feeling delicate.
