A heavy, geometric sans with round counters and smooth, circular curves paired with blunt, squared terminals. The forms are compact and sturdy, with minimal stroke modulation and generous interior spaces that help maintain legibility despite the weight. Curves (C, O, S) stay clean and consistent, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are straight and punchy, creating a strong, even rhythm. Figures are robust and simple, matching the alphabet’s solid, contemporary build.
Well-suited to logos, packaging, posters, signage, social graphics, and punchy headlines where a friendly but assertive tone is desired. It can also work for short UI labels or callouts at larger sizes, where the round shapes and open counters stay clear and energetic. For long-form reading, it will be most comfortable when given ample size and spacing due to its dense, heavy color.
This typeface feels confident and immediate, with a bold, friendly presence that reads as modern and approachable. Its rounded construction gives it a playful, optimistic tone while still projecting clarity and authority in headlines and short statements.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact, high-contrast messaging through mass and simple geometry rather than fine detail. Its consistent circular logic and blunt endings suggest a focus on clean reproduction, quick recognition, and a contemporary, brand-forward voice.
Distinctive round bowls and counters give the letters a cohesive, built-from-circles feel, while the overall silhouette stays stable and blocky. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, single-storey construction style (notably in a and g), reinforcing the geometric, contemporary character.
