A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and strongly filled counters. Curves are smoothly rounded and close to circular, while joins and terminals stay clean and minimally stylized, creating a solid, poster-like texture. The lowercase shows sturdy, compact forms with simple constructions (single-storey a and g), and the numerals are similarly weighty and open, built to hold up at large sizes. Overall spacing and rhythm read even and stable, with consistent stroke thickness and little modulation.
Best suited to high-impact display work such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and large-format signage where its heavy color and broad proportions can read confidently. It can also work for short UI labels or callouts when a strong, friendly emphasis is desired, though its density may feel overpowering for long passages at small sizes.
The tone is assertive and straightforward, with a friendly softness from the rounded curves. It feels contemporary and pragmatic, leaning toward clarity and impact rather than delicacy.
Designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a simple geometric build: a bold, no-nonsense sans that stays approachable through rounded shapes and clear, uncomplicated letterforms.
The bold massing and wide set make short words and headlines feel expansive, while the simplified lowercase shapes keep the texture from becoming fussy. Round letters (O, C, G) emphasize the geometric character; diagonals (V, W, X) appear stout and stable rather than sharp or calligraphic.
