A heavy, geometric sans with broad, rounded curves and squared-off terminals that keep counters clean and open. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, solid letterforms and a compact rhythm. The lowercase is straightforward and sturdy, with a single-storey “a” and “g,” short-armed “r,” and wide, weighty bowls in letters like “b,” “d,” “o,” and “p.” Numerals are similarly robust and simple, with strong verticals and generous curves that hold up well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact text where its thickness and geometric clarity can shine—posters, packaging, signage, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for emphatic UI labels or promotional graphics, but its density makes it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is confident and approachable, combining punchy mass with smooth, rounded shapes. It reads as energetic and contemporary, with a slightly playful, poster-like presence rather than a delicate or formal voice.
Designed to deliver strong visual presence with simple, geometric construction and easy recognition. The letterforms emphasize bold clarity and friendly roundness, aiming for contemporary display use where immediate readability and impact are key.
Spacing appears comfortably open for such a heavy weight, helping prevent letters from clogging in words. The forms lean toward geometric construction, with clear circular “O” shapes and a consistent, straightforward drawing style that prioritizes impact over nuance.
