A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and compact spacing that creates a dense, high-impact texture. Strokes are robust and largely uniform, with rounded bowls and gently softened corners that keep the weight from feeling harsh. Uppercase forms are simple and stable with wide, open counters; the lowercase shows single-storey construction in a and g, a short-shouldered r, and a tall, straightforward t. Numerals follow the same sturdy logic, with clear, open interior spaces and a strong baseline presence.
Best suited to headlines and display applications where weight and width can do the work—posters, packaging, storefront signage, and bold brand wordmarks. It also performs well for short UI or social graphics where clarity and impact are prioritized over long-form reading comfort.
The overall tone is bold and assertive but approachable, combining billboard-level impact with a friendly, contemporary softness. Its wide stance and clean geometry read as modern and no-nonsense, with an upbeat, energetic rhythm in continuous text.
Designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a simple, geometric construction and friendly curves, balancing strong presence with clear counters and straightforward forms. The lettershapes aim for immediate recognizability and consistent texture in large-scale typography.
Round letters (O, Q, C, G) emphasize smooth circular geometry, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) are thick and steady, keeping color consistent across the set. The sample text demonstrates strong word-shape legibility at large sizes, producing a chunky, poster-like texture rather than a delicate paragraph rhythm.
