A heavy, geometric sans with round, full bowls and broadly uniform stroke thickness. Curves are smooth and circular, while joins and terminals tend to end with clean, squared cuts, giving the shapes a sturdy, built-up feel. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, and the overall proportions feel compact with clear, simplified forms and minimal detailing.
Best suited to headlines and short copy where a strong, high-impact voice is needed, such as posters, signage, packaging, and bold brand wordmarks. It can also work for UI labels or callouts when you want clear, chunky letterforms that hold up in high-contrast applications.
The tone is bold and approachable, balancing a friendly roundness with a strong, assertive presence. Its simplified geometry and thick color on the page read as contemporary and energetic, with a slightly playful, poster-like character.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum presence with simple, geometric construction and friendly rounding, creating a dependable display sans that stays legible while feeling contemporary and upbeat.
The texture is dense and even, producing a strong typographic color in lines of text. Rounded letters like O, C, and G emphasize circular construction, while the straight-sided letters maintain a clean, architectural rhythm that keeps the set cohesive at display sizes.
