A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and clean, low-contrast strokes. Curves are smooth and circular (notably in C, O, and G), while joins and terminals are mostly flat and decisive, giving a sturdy, sign-like texture. Uppercase forms are wide and stable with even stroke rhythm; lowercase is simple and highly legible with a single-storey a and g and open counters. Numerals follow the same robust, rounded construction, maintaining consistent weight and footprint across the set.
Best suited to headlines and short-form text where impact and clarity matter—posters, brand marks, storefront or wayfinding-style signage, and bold packaging statements. It can also work for UI labels or navigation at larger sizes when a strong, approachable presence is desired.
The overall tone is confident and contemporary, with a friendly warmth coming from the rounded geometry. Its weight and width create an energetic, attention-grabbing voice that still feels straightforward and approachable rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended as a modern, geometric workhorse for display typography: maximum impact through broad proportions and consistent, rounded construction, while keeping letterforms simple and readable across a range of sizes.
Spacing reads generous at display sizes, and the bold strokes produce strong word shapes with clear character separation. The design favors simple silhouettes and open internal spaces, which helps maintain clarity even as letters get tightly set in large headlines.
