A heavy, geometric sans with broad, rounded bowls and strongly weighted strokes that stay visually consistent throughout. Curves feel circular and full, while joins and terminals are clean and mostly square-cut, creating a sturdy, poster-like silhouette. Counters are relatively tight in letters like B, P, R, a, and e, emphasizing mass and solidity, and the spacing reads even and controlled in the text sample. Figures follow the same chunky construction with large interior shapes and simple, high-impact forms.
Best suited for display typography where impact and immediacy matter—headlines, poster systems, brand marks, packaging callouts, and short UI or wayfinding labels at larger sizes. It works particularly well when you want a dense, bold typographic color and a friendly geometric voice.
The overall tone is confident and upbeat, leaning friendly rather than severe thanks to its rounded geometry and smooth curves. Its dense color and blunt finishing give it a punchy, attention-grabbing presence that feels contemporary and approachable.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and clarity with a simple geometric construction, prioritizing strong silhouettes and even rhythm for attention-driven applications.
Uppercase forms read especially strong and compact, while lowercase maintains the same geometric rhythm with single-storey shapes and straightforward construction. The design favors clear silhouettes over delicate interior detail, which helps it hold together in large, high-contrast settings.
