A heavy, geometric sans with rounded outer curves and largely uniform stroke thickness. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend to be tight, creating a compact, high-impact texture in words. Uppercase forms are broad and sturdy with simple geometry, while lowercase uses single-storey shapes (notably the “a” and “g”) and short, robust terminals. Overall spacing reads even and stable, producing a dense, poster-ready rhythm without delicate detailing.
Best suited to display roles where weight and compact geometry help text hold attention—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and short UI or signage copy. It remains legible in brief blocks of text, but the dense counters and tight apertures make it most effective when size and spacing can be generous.
The tone is direct and assertive, with a contemporary, no-nonsense feel. Rounded curves keep it from feeling harsh, giving it an approachable, upbeat character suited to energetic or practical messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, contemporary sans voice with simple geometric construction and a friendly roundness, prioritizing impact and clarity in display typography.
Round letters like O/C/G show smooth, near-circular construction, and diagonals (A, V, W, X) are thick and steady, reinforcing a strong silhouette. Numerals are similarly compact and bold in presence, aligning well with the uppercase for unified display settings.
