A heavy, wide sans with rounded, geometric curves and flat, squared terminals. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are compact, giving the letters a dense, poster-ready texture. The lowercase shows a high x-height with sturdy stems and minimal differentiation in stroke weight, while the caps read as broad, stable blocks. Curves (C, O, S, 0) are smoothly drawn and slightly squarish in feel, pairing circular bowls with firm horizontal cuts for a crisp, contemporary silhouette.
Well-suited for big headlines, posters, signage, and brand marks where a compact, high-impact word shape is desirable. It also works for packaging and promotional graphics, especially when set with generous tracking or in short lines to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is bold and assertive with a friendly, approachable edge. Its broad stance and soft curves feel contemporary and energetic, leaning toward branding and display uses where clarity and impact matter more than subtlety.
Designed to deliver maximum visual presence with clean, geometric shapes and a sturdy, contemporary build. The intent reads as a versatile display sans that stays friendly through rounded forms while maintaining strong emphasis in large-scale typography.
At text sizes the dense spacing and small openings create a dark, continuous rhythm; giving it a strong voice but making it best when allowed some breathing room. Numerals match the weight and width of the letters, keeping headings and callouts visually consistent.
