A heavy, geometric sans with broad, rounded forms and tightly controlled counters. Curves feel close to circular (notably in C/O), while straight strokes terminate with crisp, square ends, giving a clean, cut-paper solidity. Uppercase characters are compact and blocky with a strong, even rhythm; lowercase is similarly sturdy with simple, single-storey shapes (a, g) and short, straight terminals. Numerals are large and dense, matching the letter weight and contributing to a consistent, poster-like color.
Best suited to headlines and display typography where maximum impact is needed—posters, signage, and bold brand wordmarks. It also fits packaging and promotional graphics that benefit from compact, high-contrast silhouettes and a modern, friendly presence.
The overall tone is assertive and approachable: energetic without feeling aggressive. Its rounded geometry and simplified structures read as contemporary and friendly, while the weight and compact proportions deliver confidence and immediacy.
The font appears designed to deliver a strong, contemporary sans voice with geometric roundness and minimal stroke modulation, prioritizing legibility through simple construction and a powerful, uniform typographic color.
The design favors clarity at large sizes, with minimal detailing and limited interior space in some letters (for example B, e, s), which reinforces a strong silhouette. Diacritics and punctuation aren’t shown here, but the displayed set keeps a consistent, no-nonsense construction across letters and figures.
