A heavy, geometric sans with rounded bowls and a clean, even stroke that stays consistent across straight and curved segments. The design favors broad proportions and generous counters, giving letters a stable, blocky silhouette without feeling cramped. Curves read as near-circular, while joins and terminals are generally crisp, with occasional soft rounding in bowls and shoulders. Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy with a single-storey a and g; the t has a compact crossbar and the i/j use round dots. Numerals are similarly robust and open, built from the same circular-and-vertical logic as the letters.
Best suited to display contexts where a bold, friendly sans needs to read quickly—headlines, posters, storefront and wayfinding signage, brand marks, and packaging. The wide stance and generous counters also help it hold up in short-to-medium text at larger sizes, such as UI hero text or promotional copy.
The overall tone is friendly and approachable, with a confident, contemporary presence. Its rounded geometry and ample interior space keep it from feeling severe, lending a slightly playful, easygoing character while still reading as solid and dependable.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern geometric look with high impact and clear readability, using rounded construction and open counters to stay approachable. It aims to balance strong presence with a friendly tone, making it adaptable for contemporary branding and attention-grabbing display typography.
Round forms (C, G, O, Q, e) show consistent curvature and smooth rhythm, and the set maintains strong uniformity across capitals and lowercase. Diagonal letters (A, V, W, X, Y) feel broad and stable rather than sharp, reinforcing the font’s sturdy, poster-like color on the page.
