A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and soft, circular terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and corners are generously rounded, producing smooth joins and a sturdy silhouette. Counters are open and fairly circular (notably in O, o, e, and 8), while apertures stay readable despite the weight. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a round i/j dot, and a compact, sturdy rhythm with slightly condensed internal spacing at text sizes due to the thickness of the strokes.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short supporting text where a bold, friendly presence is desired. It works well for packaging, posters, and signage that benefits from strong legibility and a soft-edged, approachable personality.
The overall tone is friendly and upbeat, with a contemporary, informal warmth. Its chunky geometry reads as confident and approachable, leaning toward playful branding rather than formal or technical voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a welcoming, rounded voice—combining sturdy, high-visibility letterforms with smooth geometry for contemporary display and branding contexts.
At larger sizes the rounded forms feel especially cohesive and smooth, while at smaller sizes the heavy weight and tight interior spaces can make dense paragraphs feel dark. Numerals match the same rounded, robust construction and hold up well for short strings and display settings.
