A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and compact counters. Strokes are consistently thick with softly curved joins and minimal modulation, giving letters a solid, poster-like color on the page. Round forms (O, C, G, 0) read as near-circular with slightly tightened apertures, while straight-sided letters keep crisp terminals and sturdy horizontals. The lowercase is simple and robust, with single-storey a and g, a round i/j dot, and a short, strong-shouldered r; punctuation and numerals match the same dense, uniform weight.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text where impact and legibility at large sizes matter: headlines, posters, logos/wordmarks, packaging, and bold UI moments such as banners or navigation labels. It can work in brief subheads, but the dense counters and tight rhythm make it less ideal for long body copy at small sizes.
The overall tone is bold and approachable—more friendly than severe—while still feeling assertive and contemporary. Its rounded geometry and dense rhythm create an energetic, attention-grabbing voice suited to upbeat branding and headline moments.
Designed to deliver maximum visual weight with a friendly, rounded geometric character. The letterforms prioritize strong silhouette and consistent stroke density, aiming for clear, confident communication in attention-driven settings.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and the interior spaces are small, so the font builds strong texture at display sizes. The numerals are wide and hefty, with an especially compact, low-contrast look that reinforces a sturdy, athletic presence.
