A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and rounded, circle-driven bowls. Strokes stay even and sturdy, with squared terminals and slightly softened corners that keep the texture friendly rather than harsh. Counters are relatively tight and apertures lean closed, producing a dense, poster-like rhythm. Lowercase forms are compact and robust with short extenders, while capitals read clean and stable with a consistent, blocky silhouette.
Best suited to large-scale applications such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging where its dense, sturdy forms hold up and deliver impact. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when clarity is needed at a glance, though longer passages will feel heavy due to the compact counters and strong typographic color.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with a playful friendliness coming from the rounded construction. It feels contemporary and energetic, suited to attention-grabbing messages where impact matters more than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a clean, geometric voice—combining wide, stable proportions with rounded, approachable forms for contemporary display typography.
The numerals and key round letters (O/0, 8, 9) emphasize strong circular geometry, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) feel solid and engineered. In paragraph settings the weight and tight counters create a dark, high-impact typographic color, making spacing and line breaks important for comfort.
