A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and strongly rounded bowls. Stroke endings are mostly flat and clean, with minimal modulation, producing a solid, poster-ready texture. Counters are relatively tight in letters like a, e, and s, while circular forms (O, Q, 0) read as sturdy, near-elliptical shapes. The lowercase uses a single-storey a and g, with simple, compact joins and a consistent, even rhythm across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where strong presence and quick recognition matter—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and bold UI moments. It can work for short subheads and labels, while longer small-size text may benefit from generous spacing due to its compact counters.
The overall tone is confident and straightforward, combining a contemporary geometric feel with a friendly softness from its rounded curves. It communicates urgency and clarity rather than delicacy, making it feel energetic and punchy without becoming quirky.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a simplified, geometric construction and a smooth, approachable silhouette. It prioritizes bold clarity and contemporary neutrality for attention-grabbing typography across print and digital.
At text sizes the dense interiors and short apertures (notably in e and a) contribute to a dark, uniform color, while at larger sizes the smooth curves and simple construction give it a clean, contemporary presence. The numerals match the letters in weight and width, supporting cohesive use in headlines that mix text and figures.
