A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and broad, even strokes. Curves are generously softened and terminals tend to be blunt or subtly rounded, producing solid, blocky silhouettes without sharp punctuation. Counters stay relatively open for the weight, and the overall rhythm is steady and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably the a and g) and short, sturdy joins that reinforce a simple, geometric construction.
Best suited to display settings where impact is needed—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and short emphatic statements. It can work for brief subheads or UI callouts when large sizes are used and spacing is managed for the dense, heavy texture.
The tone is confident and upbeat, with a friendly, approachable character that reads as contemporary rather than formal. Its chunky shapes and softened corners give it a playful, welcoming voice suited to attention-grabbing typography.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with a friendly, geometric voice—prioritizing strong silhouettes, simple construction, and consistent stroke weight for clear, modern display typography.
In text, the weight creates strong color and high impact, while the rounded geometry keeps the feel approachable. Numerals are similarly bold and straightforward, matching the letterforms’ compact, sturdy presence.
