A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and a tall lowercase that keeps counters large and readable. Strokes are consistently thick with rounded curves and squared terminals, producing a dense, stable texture. Letterforms lean toward circular construction (notably in C/O/Q and the bowls of b/p/d), while joints and joins stay clean and minimally detailed. Numerals are robust and open, matching the overall weight and maintaining clear silhouettes at display sizes.
This font performs best in headlines, posters, large UI or in-app banners, signage, and branding where strong presence is required. Its sturdy shapes and large internal spaces also make it a solid choice for packaging and short, high-contrast typographic statements.
The overall tone is bold and direct, with a friendly, contemporary feel driven by its rounded geometry and generous x-height. It reads as confident and energetic—well-suited to attention-grabbing messaging without feeling overly sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with simple, geometric forms and a high x-height, prioritizing bold readability and a contemporary, approachable voice for display typography.
Spacing appears relatively tight for such a heavy weight, creating a strong headline “wall” of text and emphasizing rhythm over delicacy. The lowercase forms are especially prominent compared to the capitals, helping mixed-case settings hold presence in short lines.
