A heavy, rounded sans with soft-cornered geometry and broadly squared curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a dense, stable color in text. Counters are relatively tight (notably in C, S, and e), while round letters (O, Q, 0) lean toward superelliptical, rounded-rectangle forms rather than perfect circles. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, and curves join stems with smooth, slightly bulbous transitions that emphasize solidity over sharpness.
It performs best in display settings where its dense texture and rounded geometry can carry personality—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and short callouts. In larger text blocks it remains legible, but the tight counters and strong weight make it better suited to short-to-medium passages and UI labels where emphasis is desired.
The overall tone is friendly and contemporary, with an approachable, almost toy-like softness created by the rounded construction. Its weight and compact counters give it confidence and punch, making it feel upbeat and assertive without becoming aggressive.
The design appears intended to merge geometric clarity with softened, rounded construction, delivering a strong display voice that still feels approachable. It prioritizes visual impact, consistent rhythm, and a cohesive superelliptical silhouette across letters and figures for modern brand-forward typography.
Uppercase forms read particularly strong and compact, while lowercase keeps simple, single-storey shapes where expected (e.g., a and g), reinforcing a casual, modern rhythm. Numerals are similarly compact and sturdy, matching the letterforms’ rounded-rectilinear logic for a cohesive system.
