A heavy, geometric sans with smooth, rounded curves and largely even stroke weight. Letterforms are built from simple circular and straight components, with broad bowls (O, C, G) and squared-off terminals that keep edges crisp. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a compact, sturdy rhythm, and short-to-moderate ascenders/descenders. Overall spacing and proportions feel balanced and contemporary, producing dense, high-impact word shapes in text.
Well-suited to headlines and display copy where strong, simple shapes need to read quickly at a distance. It also works for branding, packaging, and signage that benefit from a modern, geometric voice. In longer passages, the dense color makes it best for short blocks, callouts, or emphasis.
The tone is direct and self-assured, with a clean, contemporary feel. Rounded geometry softens the weight, giving it an approachable, friendly voice while still reading as strong and utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-impact sans that stays friendly through rounded geometry and uncomplicated forms. It prioritizes clarity and punch in display settings while maintaining consistent, no-nonsense construction across letters and figures.
Figures are sturdy and open, with rounded counters and a clear, modern construction; the 0 appears as a simple oval without interior marking in the sample. Diacritics such as the umlaut over g are rendered as circular dots, matching the font’s rounded motif.
