A heavy, geometric sans with forms built from broad strokes and softened, rounded corners. Curves tend toward squarish superellipse shapes, with generous internal counters and simplified apertures that stay open at display sizes. Terminals are mostly blunt and flat, and joins are sturdy, giving letters a compact, blocky rhythm without feeling condensed. The lowercase is large and prominent, and the overall texture is even and dark, with clean, consistent silhouettes across letters and figures.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, brand marks, packaging, and other applications where strong presence and quick recognition are essential. It performs especially well in short bursts of text, punchy messaging, and large-scale signage where its rounded geometry can read cleanly and feel inviting.
The tone is confident and upbeat, with a friendly solidity that reads as approachable rather than aggressive. Its rounded-rectangle geometry and chunky proportions suggest a contemporary-retro flavor suited to energetic, attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a warm, geometric voice—combining chunky strokes and softened corners to create a modern display sans that feels both sturdy and approachable.
Spacing appears tuned for display impact, creating a strong continuous word shape in text samples. Numerals and capitals share the same bold, simplified construction, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive.
