A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and smooth, geometric construction. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing strong silhouettes and stable rhythm. Curves are generous and circular, counters are open for the weight, and terminals are cleanly cut; joins stay compact to avoid clogging in the bold weight. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and short extenders, with simple, single-storey shapes where visible and round dots on i/j.
Best suited to display settings where its mass and width can create strong impact—headlines, logotypes, packaging, posters, and bold interface moments like hero banners or navigation labels. It can work for short bursts of text, but the dense weight is most comfortable at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, balancing friendliness from the rounded forms with a confident, assertive weight. It reads as straightforward and functional rather than decorative, with an upbeat, brand-forward presence.
Designed to deliver a highly legible, modern rounded voice with strong visual presence. The emphasis appears to be on geometric simplicity and consistency across letters and numerals, giving designers a dependable, attention-grabbing sans for contemporary branding and display typography.
In the sample text, the large apertures and simple geometry help maintain legibility despite the very heavy stroke weight. The figures are similarly sturdy and rounded, matching the letterforms for consistent texture in headlines and numeric callouts.
