A heavy, geometric sans with broad, rounded curves and straight, sturdy stems. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, giving the letters a compact, high-impact texture while keeping forms clear. Round glyphs (like O and C) read as near-circular with smooth joins, and terminals are largely squared-off, reinforcing a solid, engineered feel. Lowercase forms are simple and direct, with single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a tall, straight t that keeps the rhythm blocky and consistent. Numerals match the bold color and adopt similarly simplified, robust shapes.
Best suited for headlines, logos, and short blocks of copy where strong presence is desired. It works well for packaging, signage, and UI or app elements that need a sturdy, modern sans with clear shapes and a confident color on the page.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a friendly warmth from the rounded geometry. It feels contemporary and pragmatic—more about impact and clarity than finesse—making it well suited to bold, no-nonsense messaging.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold, geometric sans that stays approachable while maximizing visual impact. It prioritizes simplified construction, consistent stroke behavior, and a compact rhythm to perform reliably in display settings.
At text sizes the dense interior spaces can make long paragraphs feel dark, but the consistent geometry and open apertures help maintain legibility. The uppercase is especially strong and poster-like, while the lowercase keeps a utilitarian, straightforward voice.
