A heavy, geometric sans with broad, rounded curves and sturdy verticals that create an even, poster-like color on the page. Counters are generally open and circular, with smooth joins and minimal modulation, giving the shapes a clean, machined consistency. Terminals are mostly blunt and straight-cut, while rounds (O/C/G/Q) stay soft and full, producing a clear, contemporary rhythm. Numerals match the letters in weight and presence, reading solid and stable at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines and short statements where high visual impact is needed—posters, signage, packaging, and bold brand wordmarks. It can also work for UI labels or navigation elements when a strong, contemporary presence is desired, though its mass suggests using it sparingly for longer text.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, with a friendly bluntness that feels contemporary and utilitarian rather than delicate or formal. Its strong silhouettes and rounded geometry suggest an energetic, straightforward voice suited to attention-grabbing communication.
Designed to deliver maximum presence through simplified geometric construction and substantial stroke weight, prioritizing clarity and punch over fine detail. The consistent, rounded forms and blunt terminals aim for a modern, approachable bold sans that remains clean and legible in prominent display settings.
At large sizes the dense strokes and generous curves produce strong word shapes and clear headline impact. The lowercase shows simple, compact forms that reinforce a functional, no-nonsense texture, while the capitals maintain a consistent, geometric build across the set.
