A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and a distinctly blocky silhouette. Strokes are uniform and dense, with rounded outer curves and flattened joins that create a soft-rectangular feeling rather than purely circular forms. Counters are compact (notably in B, P, R, a, e), and apertures tend to be relatively tight, giving the type a solid, poster-like color. The lowercase uses single-storey a and g, with sturdy, simplified constructions and minimal modulation across curves and straights.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and signage where a strong visual footprint is desirable. It can work for short bursts of text like calls to action and labels, but its dense counters and tight apertures make it most comfortable at larger sizes.
The overall tone is confident and loud, combining friendliness from the rounded shaping with a no-nonsense, impactful weight. It reads as contemporary with a hint of retro signage and advertising, where immediacy and presence matter more than delicacy.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, geometric voice—prioritizing bold presence, simple constructions, and consistent stroke weight for strong legibility and memorable shapes in branding and display typography.
The numerals follow the same stout, rounded-block logic, with strong, simple forms that prioritize clarity at display sizes. The rhythm in text is dense and energetic, with short inner spaces and assertive verticals creating a compact, emphatic texture.
