A heavy, geometric sans with broad, even strokes and rounded curves paired with blunt, mostly straight terminals. Counters are open and largely circular, with a compact, efficient rhythm and minimal modulation across curves and stems. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and a wide, solid presence that stays clear at large sizes. Numerals are similarly robust and rounded, with uniform weight and simple, legible construction.
Best suited for headlines and short text where strong typographic color is desirable—branding, posters, signage, and packaging. It can also work for UI labels or navigation at larger sizes when a bold, clear, modern sans is needed.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, with a friendly, approachable softness coming from the rounded bowls and uncomplicated shapes. Its density and bold color create a punchy, attention-getting voice that still reads clean and straightforward.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with simple, geometric construction and high clarity, prioritizing strong presence and quick recognition over delicate detailing.
Round forms (O/C/G) feel strongly circular, while diagonals (V/W/Y) are thick and stable, contributing to a sturdy, poster-like texture. The dot on i/j is prominent and the joins in m/n are tight, reinforcing a compact, economical silhouette.
