A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and broad, even strokes. Curves are smooth and circular, with generously rounded shoulders and terminals that feel clean rather than sharply cut. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, while apertures remain open enough to keep forms like C, S, and e readable. The overall rhythm is sturdy and stable, with consistent stroke endings and a straightforward, uncluttered construction.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short text where maximum impact is needed. It works well for bold branding moments, packaging callouts, signage, and promotional graphics that benefit from a sturdy, rounded presence. In longer passages, the dense weight and tight counters suggest using generous size and spacing for comfort.
The font reads as bold and direct, with an upbeat, approachable tone. Its rounded geometry softens the mass of the letterforms, giving it a friendly, contemporary feel while still projecting strength and certainty. The result is a voice that feels energetic and attention-grabbing without becoming aggressive.
Designed to deliver high-impact typography with a clean, rounded geometric language. The emphasis appears to be on immediate legibility at large sizes and a contemporary, approachable personality suited to modern visual identities.
The lowercase shows simple, single-storey construction where expected and maintains a cohesive geometric logic with the capitals. Numerals are thick and highly legible, designed to hold up as strong silhouettes in display sizes.
