A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes are uniformly thick with smooth, softly squared curves, producing dense letterforms with minimal delicate detailing. Terminals are blunt and clean, bowls are generous but tightly closed by the weight, and diagonals (as in K, V, W, X) feel solid and stable rather than sharp. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, short-to-moderate ascenders, and straightforward, geometric construction; figures are similarly robust with large, simple shapes and strong baseline presence.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where high visual presence is needed—posters, branding lockups, packaging, and clear signage. It can also work for UI labels or buttons when set large enough to preserve counter clarity.
The tone is direct and upbeat, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded geometry and a strong, assertive voice driven by the mass of the strokes. It reads as contemporary and practical, leaning more toward bold clarity than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum readability and punch with a friendly, rounded geometric voice, prioritizing simple silhouettes and consistent stroke density for strong performance in display typography.
At text sizes the heavy weight compresses counters and apertures, so the design favors shorter lines and display settings where its compact rhythm and chunky silhouettes can shine. The overall spacing and shapes create a consistent, poster-like texture across words and numerals.
