A heavy, geometric sans with broad, circular bowls and smoothly rounded curves paired with crisp, straight terminals. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with clean joins and consistent overshoots that keep round letters visually even. Counters are generously open for the weight, and the overall rhythm is compact and stable, giving lines of text a dense, unified color without looking cramped. The lowercase uses simple, single-storey forms where expected, and the figures are similarly rounded and robust for strong presence in display settings.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where a strong, contemporary voice is needed. Its sturdy shapes and open counters also work well for branding systems, packaging, and signage where clarity at a distance and consistent impact across words are priorities.
The tone is contemporary and approachable, combining a friendly roundness with a confident, no-nonsense solidity. It reads as straightforward and modern rather than quirky, making it feel dependable and easygoing at the same time.
The design appears intended as a modern, geometric workhorse for bold communication—prioritizing simple construction, strong color on the page, and friendly round forms that stay highly legible in prominent, attention-getting use.
Round letters (like O/C/G) lean strongly into near-circular geometry, while straight-sided forms (like E/F/L/T) stay crisp and square-shouldered, creating a clear curve-versus-stem contrast. The heavy weight emphasizes negative space management: apertures remain readable, and punctuation holds up well at large sizes.
