A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and clear, open internal spaces. Curves are smooth and geometric, with consistently thick strokes and minimal modulation, giving the letters a dense, even color on the page. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, while bowls and shoulders stay generously rounded; counters in forms like o, e, and p remain large for clarity. Overall spacing and rhythm feel steady and straightforward, favoring strong silhouette and legibility over delicate detail.
Best suited to display roles where strong presence matters: headlines, short promotional copy, posters, and signage. Its broad, rounded forms also work well for branding and packaging where a friendly but assertive voice is desired. In longer text, it remains readable but will feel dense and space-consuming, making it most effective when used with generous line spacing or in shorter blocks.
The tone is confident and modern, with a friendly, approachable softness coming from the rounded construction. It feels practical and direct—loud without being aggressive—making it suitable for messaging that needs to read quickly and decisively. The geometry adds a contemporary, tech-adjacent polish while remaining broadly neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with clean, geometric letterforms that stay approachable rather than sharp. It prioritizes legibility and strong silhouettes at display sizes, aiming for a contemporary, versatile sans that can anchor bold typographic layouts.
At larger sizes the shapes feel especially solid and graphic, with wide forms that create a prominent horizontal presence. The numerals and capitals read with a sturdy, sign-like clarity, and the lowercase maintains a simple, workmanlike texture that stays cohesive in paragraphs.
