A heavy, rounded sans with softly squared terminals and consistently generous curves. Strokes are monolinear with smooth joins, producing a sturdy, even color in text. Uppercase forms are compact and slightly wide, while lowercase has a single-storey a and g and generally open counters that keep shapes readable despite the weight. The numerals are similarly rounded and full, with a simple, straightforward construction and minimal interior detailing.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and short marketing copy where a friendly, high-impact sans is needed. Its rounded, simplified forms also fit branding systems, packaging, and signage that benefit from an approachable, contemporary look.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with a mild playfulness created by the rounded corners and bulbous proportions. It feels contemporary and informal rather than technical, lending a friendly voice that stays clear at display sizes.
Designed to deliver bold, friendly communication through soft, rounded geometry and simplified letterforms, prioritizing immediate recognition and a cohesive, modern voice.
The design emphasizes soft geometry over sharp precision: bowls and shoulders are broad, apertures are moderately open, and details are intentionally simplified to maintain a cohesive, chunky rhythm. In paragraphs it creates strong presence and clear word shapes, though the dense weight gives it a distinctly headline-forward character.
