A heavy, compact sans with rounded shapes and softened corners that keep the dense weight from feeling harsh. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and curves are built from smooth, geometric arcs. Terminals are mostly blunt, with subtle rounding at joins and corners; counters are relatively tight, contributing to a punchy, space-efficient texture. Proportions are condensed overall, with sturdy verticals and simplified forms that prioritize clarity at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of copy where strong impact and compact width are valuable, such as posters, packaging, branding marks, and storefront or wayfinding signage. It can also work for emphasis in UI or editorial layouts when used sparingly at larger sizes.
The tone is bold and approachable—confident and attention-getting, but with enough rounding to read as friendly rather than aggressive. Its condensed rhythm gives it an efficient, no-nonsense voice that still feels upbeat and contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a tight horizontal footprint, combining geometric roundness with softened corners for a bold yet approachable display voice.
Round letters like O and C appear slightly squared by the heavy weight and tight apertures, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) remain clean and stable. Numerals match the letterforms with the same compact width and robust presence, making mixed alphanumeric settings look cohesive.
