A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and substantial, even strokes. Curves are built from clean circular and elliptical forms, producing round bowls and smooth shoulders, while terminals are mostly flat and decisive. Counters and apertures tend to be relatively tight, which increases overall density and gives the letters a compact, poster-like solidity. The lowercase reads as simple and modern with single-storey forms and minimal detailing, and the numerals follow the same robust, uniform construction.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where strong typographic impact is needed. It also fits signage and packaging systems that benefit from sturdy, high-visibility letterforms, especially when set with generous spacing to keep the dense counters from closing in.
The tone is direct and confident, with a friendly softness coming from its rounded geometry rather than any decorative quirks. Its dense, punchy shapes feel contemporary and utilitarian, signaling clarity and strength more than elegance or delicacy.
Likely drawn to deliver a modern, no-nonsense display voice: rounded geometric forms combined with a heavy build for immediate legibility and strong graphic presence across short phrases, titles, and identity work.
At larger sizes the rounded bowls and wide set create an inviting, graphic presence, while the tight interior spaces can make long blocks of text feel dark and compact. The design maintains consistent weight and curvature across letters and figures, supporting a cohesive, logo-ready texture.
