A heavy, geometric sans with simple construction and rounded curves. Strokes are thick and even, with large counters and clean joins that keep letterforms sturdy at display sizes. Terminals are mostly blunt, and curves are smooth and circular, giving forms like C, G, O, and S a cohesive, rounded rhythm. The lowercase is straightforward and compact, while numerals are bold and open, matching the overall mass and clarity of the alphabet.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand moments where impact and quick recognition matter. It also fits packaging and signage thanks to its sturdy shapes and clear, open counters. For body copy, it will work more comfortably in short bursts (labels, UI emphasis, callouts) than in long paragraphs due to its strong typographic color.
The tone is assertive and upbeat: bold enough to feel attention-grabbing, but rounded enough to remain approachable. It reads as modern and utilitarian rather than delicate, making it feel confident and plainspoken in headlines.
Likely designed to deliver a high-impact, no-nonsense sans voice with friendly geometry—optimized for bold messaging, clear silhouettes, and consistent round forms across letters and numbers.
At the shown sizes, the dense weight creates strong color on the page and favors short lines over extended reading. Spacing appears comfortable for a heavy face, helping counters and apertures stay legible even with the substantial stroke thickness.
