A heavy, rounded sans with blocky geometry and softened corners. Strokes are consistently thick, producing compact internal spaces and strong silhouette legibility. Curves are broadly circular (notably in C, G, O, and the lowercase bowls), while joins and terminals tend toward squared-off, blunt finishes that keep the texture dense and uniform. The lowercase is straightforward and sturdy, with simple single-storey forms and minimal detailing, and the numerals match the same chunky, high-impact construction.
Best suited for short-form, high-visibility typography such as headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and signage where strong presence and immediate readability matter. It can also work for bold UI labels or promotional copy, especially when generous spacing is available to keep interior counters open.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, combining a sturdy, no-nonsense presence with a friendly softness from the rounded forms. It reads as contemporary and energetic, with a slightly playful, poster-like personality that favors impact over delicacy.
The design appears intended as an impact-oriented sans that stays friendly and contemporary, using rounded construction and simplified forms to deliver strong, graphic readability in display contexts.
At text sizes the dense weight and tight counters create a dark, emphatic rhythm, while at display sizes the rounded curves and simplified shapes feel clean and graphic. The design maintains consistent visual mass across straight and curved letters, supporting clear, punchy word shapes.
