A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and compact internal spaces. Strokes are consistently thick and even, with smooth, circular curves and gently softened joins that keep the texture cohesive at large sizes. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g) with wide bowls, short-to-moderate ascenders, and sturdy, straight stems. Terminals are clean and mostly horizontal or vertical, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) feel sturdy rather than sharp due to the overall mass and rounded shaping.
Best suited to display applications where impact matters: headlines, posters, branding systems, packaging, and bold UI or product moments. It also works well for short calls-to-action and signage, especially when set with generous spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, combining geometric cleanliness with a friendly softness. Its dense black presence reads confident and slightly playful, giving headlines an energetic, contemporary feel without becoming edgy or aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, geometric sans with a friendly, rounded voice and strong shelf impact. It prioritizes solidity and approachability, aiming for confident display typography that remains clean and legible in large-scale settings.
In text samples, the weight produces strong word shapes and high impact, while the tight counters and thick joins can reduce interior clarity at smaller sizes. Numerals are sturdy and display-oriented, with rounded forms (0, 8, 9) and simplified geometry that matches the letters.
