A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and rounded rectangular curves. Strokes are monolinear and dense, producing compact interior counters in letters like a, e, and s. Curves are smoothly squared-off rather than perfectly circular, while terminals are blunt and clean. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a tall, sturdy u, and an i with a square dot; overall spacing and letterforms read solid and blocky with an even rhythm.
Best suited to big, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, storefront signage, packaging, and brand marks where weight and presence are beneficial. It can work for short UI labels or buttons when strong emphasis is needed, but the tight counters suggest avoiding very small sizes or long passages of text.
The tone is loud and approachable: strong, contemporary, and slightly playful thanks to the softened geometry and rounded corners. Its mass and wide stance give it a confident, headline-forward personality that feels energetic rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a clean, contemporary feel: simplified geometric construction, softened corners, and a compact internal structure that holds together as bold typographic color.
Round letters like O and Q are built from squarish ovals, and the Q features a short, assertive tail that keeps the silhouette compact. The numerals are similarly chunky and highly graphic, with the 8 and 9 showing tight counters that emphasize the font’s dense, poster-like color.
