A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded bowls paired with flat, squared terminals. Strokes are sturdy and even, with subtly softened corners that keep the forms from feeling rigid. Counters are relatively tight at display sizes, and curves stay clean and consistent across letters and figures. The lowercase uses straightforward, single-storey forms where expected, with a compact, no-nonsense rhythm that reads as solid and stable.
Best suited to headlines and short text where strong typographic presence is needed, such as posters, marketing layouts, packaging, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for UI labels and signage when set with adequate spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is bold and direct, with a contemporary, friendly pragmatism. Its rounded geometry keeps the weight from feeling aggressive, giving it a confident, approachable voice suited to high-impact messaging.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with minimal stylistic distraction, combining geometric roundness with sturdy, squared terminals for a contemporary, workmanlike feel.
At larger sizes the family’s strength is its dense color and simple geometry; at smaller sizes the tight apertures and counters may begin to close up, so it benefits from generous tracking and comfortable line spacing when used in longer passages.
