A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and strongly rounded bowls set against flat, squared terminals. Strokes are uniform and dense, with large internal counters that keep letters open despite the weight. Curves are built from near-circular forms (notably in O, C, G, and 8), while joins and terminals feel decisively cut, producing a clean, blocky rhythm. Lowercase shapes are simple and sturdy, with single-storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and a straightforward t, all designed for clarity at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, brand marks, packaging, and signage where strong silhouette and immediate readability are required. It also works for short UI labels or callouts when a solid, friendly emphasis is desired, but the density makes it less ideal for long-form reading at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is bold and direct, balancing a friendly roundness with a no-nonsense, poster-like presence. It reads contemporary and approachable, with an emphasis on impact and legibility rather than finesse.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum visual impact with clean geometry and dependable legibility. The combination of circular construction and squared terminals suggests an intention to feel modern and approachable while remaining firm and authoritative in display contexts.
The design leans on consistent geometry and generous counters, giving it strong performance in large settings and in short bursts of text. Numerals are robust and highly uniform, matching the alphabet’s weight and roundness for cohesive headline and branding use.
