A heavy, compact sans with broad, simplified forms and softly rounded corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and curves are built from smooth, nearly circular arcs that keep counters fairly tight. Terminals are blunt and clean, joins are sturdy, and overall spacing feels slightly compressed, producing dense, high-contrast silhouettes against the page without relying on fine details.
Best suited to large sizes where its dense weight and simplified shapes create strong presence—such as headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and short, emphatic UI or signage labels. In running text, the tight counters and compact spacing suggest it will be most effective in short blocks or where impact matters more than delicacy.
The overall tone is bold and direct, with an approachable, contemporary warmth from the rounded geometry. It reads as confident and pragmatic rather than delicate or expressive, making it feel energetic and “headline-ready.”
Designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a clean, modern silhouette: a robust sans that prioritizes clarity at display sizes, consistent texture, and a friendly geometric feel for contemporary branding and bold typographic statements.
Uppercase shapes lean toward geometric construction (notably in round letters like C, G, O, Q), while lowercase maintains simple, utilitarian structures with single-storey forms and compact apertures. Numerals follow the same sturdy, rounded logic, keeping visual weight even across mixed alphanumeric settings.
