A heavy, expanded sans with rounded, circular construction and softened corners that keep the mass from feeling harsh. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and many joins and terminals resolve into broad, squared-off ends. The wide proportions and large interior curves create a steady, billboard-like rhythm, while counters stay relatively compact due to the weight. Lowercase forms read sturdy and simple, with single-storey construction where applicable and a plain, functional set of figures.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where strong impact and quick recognition are needed, such as posters, branding lockups, packaging, and signage. It can also work for short bursts of UI or editorial emphasis, but its heavy color is most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is bold and outgoing, combining geometric cleanliness with a friendly, approachable softness. Its wide stance and dense color give it a confident, attention-grabbing presence that can feel contemporary and slightly playful rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a clean geometric voice—prioritizing legibility at display sizes, strong texture, and a friendly rounded finish that broadens its appeal for contemporary commercial use.
Round letters (like O/C/G) emphasize near-circular geometry, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y/Z) are sturdy and blunt, reinforcing a strong, stable texture. The set maintains a consistent visual weight across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, supporting emphatic typographic hierarchy.
