A heavy, high-impact sans with subtly sculpted strokes and softened corners. Curves show gentle swelling and tapering, creating a lightly calligraphic modulation without becoming formal. Counters are generous and open, and the lowercase forms are sturdy with compact bowls and short, firm terminals. Overall rhythm is energetic and slightly quirky, with a mix of straight-sided stems and rounded transitions that keeps the texture lively in display sizes.
Best used for headlines, posters, and branding where strong presence and character are desired. It can also perform well on packaging and promotional graphics thanks to its open counters and lively silhouette, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is assertive and contemporary, with a friendly, approachable edge. Its sturdy shapes and animated modulation give it an editorial punch that feels upbeat rather than severe, making it well suited to bold messaging and attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to blend the clarity of a sans with a more expressive, sculpted stroke logic, giving designers a bold display option that reads quickly while still feeling distinctive and contemporary.
Distinctive details include a curved, tapering tail on the Q, a double-storey a, and a g with a looped lower form that adds personality. Numerals are stout and punchy, with rounded interior spaces that stay clear at large sizes.
