A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded curves. Strokes are consistently thick with subtly softened corners, giving counters and bowls a clean, circular feel. The lowercase uses single‑storey forms (notably a and g), a sturdy, low-contrast construction, and short, matter-of-fact terminals that keep shapes compact. Overall spacing and rhythm favor big, solid letterforms with clear silhouettes and minimal detailing.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, and brand wordmarks where mass and width can create strong presence. It can work well on packaging and social media graphics where quick recognition and high contrast against backgrounds matter. For extended text, it will be most comfortable when given generous size and spacing to prevent the heavy forms from feeling crowded.
The tone is bold and straightforward, with a friendly, slightly playful warmth coming from the rounded geometry. It reads as contemporary and attention-grabbing rather than delicate, projecting confidence and simplicity. The overall feel suits messaging that wants to be seen quickly and remembered.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a clean, geometric voice—combining wide, sturdy proportions with softened curves for approachability. It prioritizes bold legibility and iconic shapes over fine detail, aiming for modern, high-energy display typography.
Round characters like O, C, and G are strongly circular, while straight-sided letters (E, F, T, L) stay blunt and sturdy, creating a clear geometric tension. Numerals are equally weighty and simple, matching the letters for consistent color in text. In longer lines, the dense blackness creates strong impact, especially at display sizes.
