A heavy, rounded sans with broad, compact letterforms and a strong, even stroke presence. Curves are smooth and full, counters are relatively tight, and terminals read clean and blunt rather than tapered. The overall rhythm is dense and stable, with sturdy verticals, wide bowls, and a consistent geometric feel across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as headlines, posters, and bold brand statements where its dense shapes and tight counters read as deliberate visual weight. It also fits packaging and apparel-style graphics that benefit from a friendly, athletic boldness, while smaller text will typically need generous sizing and spacing to maintain clarity.
The tone is assertive and upbeat, projecting confidence and immediacy without feeling sharp or technical. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable, making it feel energetic and contemporary rather than formal or delicate.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with a rounded, geometric softness, balancing punchy display impact with approachable shapes. The consistent, high-ink construction suggests an emphasis on straightforward legibility and strong silhouette recognition in branding and promotional contexts.
Lowercase forms appear robust and simplified for clarity at display sizes, with single-storey-style silhouettes where applicable and minimal internal detailing. Numerals are similarly bold and compact, built to hold their shape in high-contrast layouts and attention-grabbing settings.
