A heavy, rounded sans with broadly geometric construction and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes are uniform and dense, with generous counters that keep forms open despite the weight. Terminals are clean and mostly square-cut, and joins are solid and compact, producing a tight, emphatic rhythm. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g” with simple, sturdy shapes, while numerals are bold and highly legible with round bowls and firm verticals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and bold UI or signage where clarity at a glance is critical. It can carry dense copy in larger sizes, but its visual weight makes it most effective when used for emphasis and hierarchy rather than long passages.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, balancing a friendly roundness with strong, no-nonsense mass. It reads as contemporary and energetic, with a slightly sporty, display-forward presence that still feels approachable.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with simple, modern shapes and reliable readability. The rounded geometry and sturdy proportions suggest an intention to feel friendly and contemporary while remaining unmistakably bold and attention-grabbing.
The letterforms lean toward circular bowls (notably in C/O/Q and 8/9) paired with straight-sided stems and crisp apertures, creating a clear geometric cadence. Spacing appears even and stable in the text sample, supporting big, impactful lines without looking fragile.
