A heavy, rounded sans with geometric construction and broad, even strokes. Curves are smooth and circular, with compact apertures and firm terminals that keep counters tight at display sizes. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g” with straightforward, utilitarian shapes, while capitals are wide and stable with minimal modulation. Numerals are robust and highly legible, matching the overall dense color and consistent rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, poster typography, signage, and brand marks where a dense, high-impact voice is needed. It also fits packaging and social graphics that benefit from a friendly geometric feel and strong readability at large sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and confident, with a friendly softness from the rounded geometry and an assertive presence from the heavy weight. It reads as contemporary and approachable rather than formal, leaning toward energetic, attention-grabbing messaging.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a rounded geometric voice: strong shapes, clear silhouettes, and a solid typographic color that holds up in bold display settings while remaining approachable.
Spacing appears generous enough for large headlines, but the tight interior counters and closed apertures suggest it will look best with comfortable tracking and ample line spacing in blocks of text. The design maintains a consistent, solid texture across mixed case and numerals, supporting strong typographic color in short phrases.
