A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded curves. Stroke widths remain consistent throughout, with generous, open bowls on letters like C, O, and Q, and tight, compact counters in forms like a, e, and s. Terminals are clean and largely straight-cut, and the joins are sturdy, producing a dense, even texture in text. Lowercase is built for presence, with a prominent x-height, simple two-storey-less constructions (single-storey a and g), and minimal modulation.
Best suited for large sizes where its strong silhouettes and dense color can carry headlines, brand marks, and short statements. It can work for UI labels and wayfinding when used with ample size and spacing, but its heavy weight and compact counters make it less ideal for long-form, small-size reading.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary while staying approachable due to its rounded geometry. It feels energetic and straightforward, prioritizing clarity and punch over delicacy, making it well-suited to bold, friendly messaging.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a clean, geometric voice—combining sturdy construction, rounded forms, and a compact internal structure for confident, contemporary display typography.
Spacing appears tuned for display impact: the forms are wide and the internal apertures are relatively small, creating strong silhouettes and a dark typographic color. Numerals are similarly weighty and simple, matching the letterforms for consistent emphasis.
