A heavy, geometric sans with smooth, round bowls and compact proportions. Strokes are consistently thick, with rounded curves paired against crisp, straight terminals and corners. Counters tend to be relatively tight, giving letters a dense, poster-like color, while the lowercase shows a single-storey a and g and broadly circular forms that keep the texture even. Numerals follow the same sturdy, rounded construction, with wide, stable shapes designed to read at a glance.
Best suited for headlines and display typography where its heavy, compact color can deliver immediate impact. It works well for branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from clear, sturdy shapes, and it can also serve as a strong UI or marketing accent in larger sizes where counters have room to breathe.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its rounded geometry softens the weight, keeping it friendly rather than aggressive, while the dense silhouette communicates strength and clarity.
The font appears designed to provide a bold, contemporary sans voice built from simple geometric shapes, prioritizing clarity and punch over delicate detail. Its rounded, compact construction suggests an intention to be versatile for modern graphic design while remaining friendly and legible in short-form text.
The design favors simplified, contemporary letterforms with minimal modulation and little calligraphic influence. Rounded interiors and short joins help maintain smooth rhythm in all-caps settings, while the dense spacing and closed forms create strong impact in short lines and large sizes.
