A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and rounded, smoothly modeled curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing solid counters and a compact, high-density texture. Terminals are mostly squared-off with softened corners, giving letters a sturdy, machined feel rather than a sharp industrial one. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, open apertures, and short, robust joins; numerals are similarly weighty and highly legible at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and large-scale messaging where impact and clarity matter. It also fits branding and packaging that want a bold, contemporary voice, as well as signage or wayfinding where large, simple forms need to read quickly.
The overall tone is bold and confident, with a friendly, contemporary warmth coming from the rounded shaping. It reads energetic and promotional, leaning toward sporty and attention-grabbing rather than neutral or delicate.
Designed to deliver maximum visual presence with simple geometric construction and a friendly roundness. The goal appears to be strong legibility at display sizes while maintaining a modern, approachable character.
In text settings the weight creates strong page color and reduced whitespace, so it performs best when given generous tracking and leading. The wide set and large internal counters help keep forms readable despite the mass, making it suitable for short runs and display-driven typography.
