A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and large counters. Curves are smooth and circular, while joins and terminals feel clean and mostly blunt, creating a solid, block-like silhouette. The lowercase is compact and sturdy with short extenders and simple constructions, and the figures match the same wide, weighty rhythm for consistent color in text and headlines.
Best suited for big, high-contrast applications where weight and width can do the work: headlines, posters, storefront and wayfinding signage, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also serve for short UI labels or calls to action when you want maximum emphasis without decorative styling.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, combining a strong, attention-grabbing presence with approachable roundness. It reads contemporary and energetic, leaning toward a friendly, mass-market voice rather than a formal or technical one.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, rounded geometric voice with strong presence and quick readability. Its wide stance and simplified forms suggest a focus on punchy display typography that remains friendly and legible in short lines of text.
At display sizes the uniform heft produces a dense, even typographic color. The shapes favor clarity and impact over finesse, with minimal modulation and straightforward, highly filled-in forms that keep word shapes bold and stable.
