A heavy, geometric sans with broad, even strokes and prominently rounded bowls. Curves are smooth and circular, while joints and terminals often resolve into crisp, slightly angled cuts that keep the shapes from feeling purely soft. Counters are generally open and spacious for the weight, with sturdy verticals and clear, simple construction across both cases. Figures follow the same robust rhythm, with large, rounded forms and straightforward silhouettes suited to prominent display sizes.
This font performs best in headlines, posters, and brand marks where bold, rounded letterforms need to read quickly and confidently. Its open counters and simple geometry also suit packaging and signage applications that prioritize impact and legibility at a distance.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, combining friendly roundness with a confident, no-nonsense solidity. It reads as contemporary and practical, with a slightly industrial edge created by the sharp joins and cut terminals.
The design appears intended as a robust, geometric workhorse for display typography—delivering a strong silhouette, consistent rhythm, and approachable character while avoiding decorative complexity.
Lowercase shows a single-storey "a" and a compact "t" with a short crossbar, reinforcing an informal, contemporary feel. The "G" and "Q" incorporate simple, decisive strokes that maintain clarity at bold sizes, and the numerals are wide and stable with strong presence.
