A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and strongly rounded curves. Strokes are uniform and dense, with compact internal counters and a sturdy, square-shouldered construction in many forms. Terminals are clean and unadorned, and the overall rhythm is stable and consistent, favoring large silhouettes and clear, simplified shapes. Numerals follow the same robust logic, with ample weight and tight apertures that prioritize impact over delicacy.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and attention-grabbing branding where a solid, modern sans is needed. It can work effectively for packaging and signage, especially where quick recognition and strong contrast against the background are priorities. For body text, it is best reserved for short bursts or callouts where weight and presence are intentional.
The font reads as assertive and contemporary, with a friendly, approachable tone driven by its rounded geometry. Its mass and width give it a confident, poster-like voice that feels practical and no-nonsense rather than refined or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a clean, geometric voice—prioritizing bold legibility, simple forms, and a contemporary feel for display-led typography.
At display sizes it produces a strong, even color and holds together well in dense lines. The compact counters and tight openings can visually fill in as sizes get smaller or when set tightly, so it benefits from generous size and spacing in longer settings.
