A very heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and broad, even strokes. Curves are built from simple circular and elliptical forms, giving bowls and counters a clean, geometric feel, while terminals are mostly flat and squared-off. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g” with sturdy, simplified shapes, and the overall rhythm is dense and consistent, producing strong color on the page. Numerals are similarly bold and stable, with clear silhouettes and minimal detailing.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium blocks where strong emphasis is needed, such as posters, brand marks, packaging callouts, and wayfinding or signage. Its simple geometry and heavy weight also work well for UI labels, badges, and social graphics that need immediate legibility and impact.
The font conveys a confident, no-nonsense tone softened by its rounded geometry. It feels contemporary and approachable, with a friendly solidity that reads as bold and energetic rather than formal or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual presence with a clean, geometric voice—prioritizing sturdy shapes, consistent stroke weight, and straightforward construction for high-impact display typography.
Spacing appears generous enough for display use, but the thick strokes and tight internal counters make the texture feel compact at smaller sizes. The mix of rounded bowls and flat terminals creates a pragmatic, sign-ready look that stays visually consistent across letters and figures.
