A heavy, rounded sans with broadly proportioned letters and smooth, circular bowls. Strokes are consistently thick with only slight modulation, producing a dense, even color and strong silhouette. Curves are generously rounded (notably in O/C/G and the lowercases), while joins and terminals stay clean and blunt, keeping the forms crisp at display sizes. Counters remain fairly open despite the weight, and the lowercase shows simple, sturdy constructions with a single-storey a and g and a tall, plain l.
Best suited to display typography where mass and presence are desired—headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, and bold brand moments. It can also work for short blocks of UI or marketing copy when set large with comfortable tracking and leading.
The overall tone is bold and approachable: assertive enough for attention-grabbing headlines, but softened by rounded geometry that reads friendly and contemporary. It feels energetic and promotional rather than formal, with a straightforward, no-nonsense rhythm.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded voice: a sturdy geometric construction paired with soft curves for approachable emphasis. The forms prioritize clarity and strong silhouettes, aiming for high visibility and confident, contemporary communication.
The capitals lean toward wide, stable shapes, and the numerals are similarly robust with clear, easily distinguishable forms. Spacing in the samples reads intentionally generous for a heavy style, helping prevent clogging in tight curves and keeping word shapes legible at large sizes.
