A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and large counters, combining flat terminals with generously rounded curves. Stroke widths are consistently thick, with subtle optical tapering where curves meet stems, producing a sturdy, compact silhouette. The lowercase is built from simple, single‑storey forms (notably a and g), and many letters show squared shoulders and slightly softened corners that keep the texture solid without feeling harsh. Numerals are similarly weighty and open, with round forms that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and bold branding where strong presence and quick recognition are needed. It also works well on packaging and promotional graphics that benefit from a compact, high-impact word shape, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is loud and confident, with a friendly, slightly playful edge created by the rounded geometry and chunky proportions. It feels contemporary and approachable rather than technical, leaning toward energetic headline typography.
Designed to deliver maximum visual weight and clarity with simple geometric construction, aiming for strong display performance and an approachable, modern personality.
The font creates dense, high-ink text color in paragraphs, favoring short lines and prominent hierarchy. Curved letters like C, G, O, and S maintain strong roundness, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, L, T) emphasize a sturdy, poster-like rhythm.
