A heavy, geometric sans with rounded bowls and softly blunted corners that keep the shapes approachable despite the strong weight. Curves trend toward near-circular forms (notably in C, O, Q, and the lowercase o), while straight strokes end in crisp, squared terminals. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, compact apertures, and sturdy joins, giving the face a dense, even texture. Numerals are similarly bold and simple, with large counters and stable, upright stance.
Best suited for headline typography where maximum impact and clarity are needed—brand marks, advertising, posters, and large UI labels. It can also work for short blocks of copy or captions when set with generous size and spacing to offset the dense, bold texture.
The overall tone is bold and assured with a friendly, contemporary edge. Its rounded geometry and uncomplicated letterforms feel approachable and brand-ready, while the dense weight reads as emphatic and attention-grabbing.
Designed to deliver a straightforward, contemporary voice with strong presence, prioritizing simple geometric construction and legibility at display sizes. The rounded proportions suggest an intention to balance authority with friendliness for modern brand and editorial applications.
Tight internal counters and relatively closed apertures (e.g., in e and s) create a strong, dark color that favors larger sizes. The uppercase and lowercase feel consistently built from the same geometric logic, producing a steady rhythm in words and headlines.
