A very heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded curves paired with straight, sturdy stems. Forms are built from simple circular and elliptical geometry, with minimal stroke modulation and crisp joins. Counters tend to be relatively tight for the weight, and several letters show compact apertures, which increases the solid, blocky color. The lowercase has a tall x-height and straightforward, single-storey shapes (notably a and g), giving text a dense, even rhythm at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, large-scale typography, and short emphatic statements where its weight and broad stance can work as a primary visual element. It can also perform well in logos, branding systems, packaging, and signage that require strong legibility and a contemporary geometric feel.
The overall tone is bold and contemporary, combining a friendly roundness with a strong, attention-grabbing presence. It reads as confident and utilitarian rather than delicate, with a straightforward, no-nonsense voice suited to emphatic messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a clean, geometric construction—prioritizing bold presence, simple silhouettes, and a consistent rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures for display-oriented use.
The heavy weight and reduced interior space make the font feel darker and more compact in running text, especially in combinations with many rounded letters. Numerals follow the same geometric construction and carry similar mass, helping maintain a consistent, punchy texture across mixed content.
