A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a sturdy, uniform stroke. Curves are built from smooth circular/elliptical shapes, while joins and terminals stay clean and mostly flat, producing a crisp, engineered look. Counters are relatively tight in letters like B, P, R, and a, and the overall spacing and rhythm favor dense, headline-friendly texture. Lowercase forms read as simplified and modern, with single-storey a and g and a compact, closed construction across many glyphs.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and large-format typography where bold mass and rounded geometry can carry the design. It also fits branding and packaging systems that need a modern, friendly presence and strong typographic hierarchy.
The tone is bold and approachable: assertive enough to feel energetic and promotional, but softened by rounded geometry that keeps it friendly rather than severe. It conveys a contemporary, no-nonsense voice suited to attention-getting messaging.
Likely designed as a high-impact display sans that balances geometric clarity with rounded softness, prioritizing immediate legibility and strong silhouette for advertising and brand-forward applications.
The uppercase set is strongly geometric with stable horizontals and verticals, while round letters (O, Q, C, G) emphasize smooth, even curvature. Numerals are similarly sturdy and graphic, designed to hold their shape at large sizes and in high-contrast layouts.
