A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and generously filled counters. Curves are built from simple circular/elliptical forms, while corners and terminals are softly squared rather than sharply cut. Stroke endings are clean and consistent, and the overall rhythm is steady, with sturdy verticals and smooth bowls that stay open even at small apertures. The lowercase is compact and blocky, with single-storey forms and a clear, simple construction throughout.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and bold branding where strong presence and quick recognition matter. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when large sizes are available, but its dense text color makes it less ideal for long-form reading at smaller sizes.
The tone is energetic and approachable, combining a sturdy, high-impact presence with soft, friendly shaping. It reads as contemporary and informal, leaning toward playful and upbeat rather than corporate or austere.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded voice—pairing geometric clarity with softened terminals to stay approachable in display settings.
The numerals and capitals carry a strong headline feel, with large interior spaces that help prevent the weight from looking muddy. In text, the dense color creates a poster-like texture, while the rounded geometry keeps it from feeling aggressive.
