A heavy geometric sans with broad, round counters and smooth curve construction, balanced by crisp, straight terminals. The forms are compact and sturdy, with a consistent, blocky rhythm and minimal modulation. Lowercase bowls (a, b, d, o, p, q) read as near-circular, while diagonals and joins (k, v, w, x, y) are sharp and angular, creating a clear geometric contrast within the same system.
Well-suited for logos, wordmarks, packaging, posters, and headline typography where a strong, friendly voice is needed. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when large and well-spaced, but its dense weight is best reserved for display-driven settings rather than extended reading.
This typeface projects a confident, upbeat tone with a friendly, slightly playful edge. Its hefty shapes feel assertive and attention-grabbing, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended for high-impact display use where strong silhouettes and quick recognition matter. It prioritizes simple geometric construction and dense, sturdy forms to maintain presence at larger sizes and in short headlines.
The numerals share the same compact, rounded geometry, with an especially prominent, circular 8 and a simple, sturdy 1. Counters stay open despite the heavy stroke, supporting legibility in bold, high-contrast compositions.
