A heavy, rounded sans with substantial strokes and minimal contrast. Curves are broad and smooth, with softened terminals and corners that keep the texture friendly despite the weight. Uppercase forms read compact and stable, while lowercase shapes are straightforward and open, producing an even, dark typographic color. Figures are blocky and prominent, designed to hold up at large sizes and in short bursts of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding, packaging, and display typography where strong presence is needed. It can work for short UI labels or callouts, but is most effective when used for emphasis rather than extended body copy.
The tone is assertive and energetic, with a welcoming, contemporary feel. Its rounded construction and dense weight give it a sporty, approachable character that suits attention-grabbing messaging without feeling aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a smooth, rounded voice—balancing boldness with approachability for contemporary display use.
Counters are relatively small for the weight, which increases punch and visual density. In longer settings the strong color can dominate, making spacing and size choices important for comfortable reading.
