A heavy, geometric sans with broad, rounded bowls and largely uniform stroke thickness. Terminals are clean and mostly squared-off, while internal curves stay smooth and circular, creating a sturdy, compact texture in text. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, and the overall silhouette favors simple, blocky constructions (notably in E/F/T and the numerals) balanced by generous rounding in C/O/Q and the lower-case bowls. Spacing appears even and utilitarian, producing a dense, high-impact line in display sizes.
Works best for headlines and short blocks of text where maximum impact and quick recognition matter—posters, brand marks, packaging callouts, and retail or event signage. The dense color and sturdy shapes also suit UI labels and badges when set with ample spacing and contrast against the background.
The tone is bold and straightforward, with a friendly, contemporary softness coming from its rounded geometry. It reads as energetic and no-nonsense—more upbeat and approachable than severe—making it feel well-suited to modern branding that wants clarity with attitude.
Designed to deliver a strong, modern voice through simple geometry and heavy weight, prioritizing immediate legibility and graphic presence. The rounded construction aims to keep the tone approachable while maintaining a solid, assertive rhythm.
The lowercase has a compact, robust look with rounded forms (a, e, o) and simple joins, while diagonals (k, v, w, x, y) keep crisp angles that add snap. Numerals are thick and highly legible, with simple, poster-like silhouettes.
