A heavy, rounded sans with geometric construction and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with generously rounded bowls and terminals that keep counters open despite the weight. Proportions feel compact with short-looking ascenders/descenders, and the lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g) alongside sturdy, simplified joins and diagonals. The overall rhythm is dense and steady, prioritizing strong silhouettes and clear shapes over fine detail.
Best suited to display roles where impact and clarity matter: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and short UI/marketing callouts. The heavy color and rounded forms hold up well at larger sizes and in high-contrast applications such as signage or promotional graphics.
The tone is bold and confident while staying approachable due to the rounded geometry. It reads as contemporary and energetic, with a slightly playful, “big headline” personality that feels clean rather than aggressive.
Designed to deliver maximum visual presence with a clean, geometric feel and friendly rounded forms. The intent appears to be a versatile, modern display sans that stays legible and cohesive across caps, lowercase, and figures while projecting an energetic brand voice.
Round characters like O/0 and C/G are nearly circular, giving the set a consistent geometric flavor. The numerals are sturdy and straightforward, with wide curves and minimal modulation, matching the letterforms closely for cohesive headline settings.
