A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and sturdy, even strokes. Curves are smooth and circular, with soft joins and generous, open counters that keep the shapes readable despite the dense weight. Terminals are largely blunt and clean, and the overall construction leans geometric, with simple, consistent forms and minimal nuance. Uppercase letters feel stable and blocky, while the lowercase maintains a clear, conventional structure with a single-storey a and g and a compact, robust rhythm.
Well suited for logos, brand wordmarks, posters, and packaging where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It also works effectively for signage and UI titles or feature areas where strong contrast against the background and quick recognition are priorities.
The tone is confident and approachable, combining a strong presence with friendly, rounded shapes. It reads as contemporary and pragmatic rather than expressive or ornamental, making it feel direct, upbeat, and brand-ready.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact with an approachable character, balancing geometric simplicity with rounded warmth. The consistent stroke weight and open interior spaces suggest an emphasis on bold display readability and dependable brand application.
The design emphasizes clarity at large sizes: wide bowls, strong verticals, and simplified details help prevent the characters from feeling fussy. The numerals share the same sturdy, rounded logic, producing a cohesive set for headlines and short bursts of information.
