A heavy, geometric sans with broadly rounded bowls and smooth, continuous curves paired with blunt, squared terminals. Strokes are thick and consistent, creating dense counters and compact apertures in letters like C, S, and e. Proportions lean wide and blocky, with strong horizontal emphasis in forms like E, F, and T, and a robust, stable baseline presence. The lowercase is straightforward and utilitarian, with simple construction in a, g, and t and minimal detailing throughout, keeping the texture solid and even in display sizes.
Best suited for high-impact display typography such as headlines, posters, and brand marks where strong presence is needed. It also works well for packaging and signage that benefit from compact, durable letterforms and a clear, modern tone.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a friendly, approachable softness coming from the rounded geometry. It reads as contemporary and practical rather than delicate, projecting confidence and straightforwardness in headlines and short statements.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch and clarity with a simple geometric construction and minimal ornamentation. Its rounded forms and dense texture suggest a focus on bold, contemporary communication for attention-grabbing applications.
The numerals are large and sturdy with rounded interior shapes, matching the letters’ weight and curve logic. Diagonals in V, W, X, and Y are thick and crisp, reinforcing a strong, athletic feel, while the tight counters increase visual mass in longer lines of bold text.
