A heavy, rounded sans with chunky, compact letterforms and broadly squared curves that read like softened rectangles. Strokes are uniform and dense, with small, tightly controlled counters and short apertures that keep the silhouettes weighty. Curves and terminals are consistently rounded, while diagonals (as in V, W, X, Y) remain blunt and solid. The overall rhythm is tight and space-efficient, emphasizing strong black shapes over open interior space.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and identity work where bold shapes need to hold attention at a glance. It can work for short UI labels or signage when space is limited and high contrast against the background is available, but the dense counters suggest avoiding long passages of small text.
The tone is assertive and energetic, with a friendly, approachable softness from the rounded geometry. It feels sporty and contemporary, leaning toward poster and display sensibilities where impact matters more than delicacy. The dense forms give it a confident, no-nonsense presence while still reading as upbeat rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly geometric flavor—using rounded, squared-off curves and uniform stroke weight to create a strong, compact typographic voice. It prioritizes solid silhouettes and consistent texture for display-forward applications.
Uppercase forms are notably compact and monolithic, and the numerals are similarly weight-forward with small counters, helping maintain consistent color across mixed alphanumeric settings. The sample text shows strong line-to-line presence, with the heavy texture dominating at paragraph scale and benefiting from generous leading or larger sizes.
