A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and rounded inner bowls that keep counters open despite the dense weight. Curves are smooth and circular, while joins and terminals read as cleanly cut, giving the design a solid, poster-like presence. The lowercase shows sturdy, compact shapes with a single-storey “a” and “g,” and short, stout extenders that reinforce the overall blocky rhythm. Numerals are similarly robust and simplified, designed to hold up at large sizes with minimal detail loss.
Best suited for headlines, logos, and short bursts of copy where strong presence is desired. It works well for branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from a friendly but forceful voice, and it can be effective for large-scale editorial display when given ample leading and breathing room.
The tone is bold and upbeat, balancing a friendly roundness with assertive mass. It feels contemporary and approachable, with a slightly playful, sporty energy that suits attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a smooth, geometric personality—combining simplified forms and rounded counters to stay legible while projecting a confident, contemporary tone.
The family’s character is driven by broad geometry and generous curves, creating a consistent silhouette across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. In longer settings the weight produces a strong gray value, so spacing and line breaks become important to maintain readability.
