A heavy, rounded sans with broadly geometric construction and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and terminals are clean and mostly horizontal or vertical, producing a compact, blocky color in text. Counters are open but relatively tight for the weight, and round letters (C, O, G, o) read as near-circular with even curvature. The lowercase shows a single‑storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and a straightforward t with a firm crossbar, reinforcing a simple, utilitarian rhythm.
Works best for headlines, logos, packaging, and promotional graphics where a strong, friendly sans is needed. It can also suit signage and UI callouts when used sparingly, benefiting from its clear silhouettes and consistent rhythm at larger sizes.
The overall tone is friendly and contemporary, with a solid, no-nonsense presence. Its rounded geometry softens the weight, giving it an approachable voice that still feels confident and assertive.
Likely designed to provide a straightforward, modern sans that pairs geometric roundness with substantial weight for high-impact typography. The simplified lowercase forms and tight, even construction suggest an emphasis on clarity, consistency, and bold visual presence in display settings.
Numerals are sturdy and clear at display sizes, with distinctive shapes (notably the angled 4 and the curving 2/3) that match the rounded, geometric feel of the letters. In paragraphs the dense stroke weight creates strong emphasis and a compact texture, favoring short headlines and bold callouts over long continuous reading.
