A heavy, geometric sans with smooth curves and sturdy verticals that create a compact, high-impact silhouette. Round letters (C, O, G) read as near-circular with clean, even curvature, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) keep crisp edges and firm terminals. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, producing strong black shapes and a dense rhythm in text. Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy with mostly single-storey construction (notably a and g), a short-armed t, and a dot on i/j that reads as square or slightly rectangular.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where maximum impact is needed. It also works well for packaging and short signage copy, especially when set with generous tracking or leading to offset the dense counters.
The tone is bold and approachable, combining a friendly roundness with a no-nonsense, poster-ready solidity. It feels energetic and contemporary, with a slightly playful edge that comes from the exaggerated weight and compact internal spaces.
The design appears intended to deliver an unmistakably strong, contemporary voice using simplified geometric construction and tight, confident shapes that hold up in large sizes and attention-grabbing contexts.
Numerals are broad and emphatic with rounded bowls (6, 8, 9) and a straightforward, blocky 1. Diagonals in V/W/X/Y are robust and create strong zig-zag patterns, helping the type stay legible and assertive at display sizes.
