A heavy, geometric sans with rounded curves, open counters, and a steady, even stroke presence. Letterforms lean on circular construction (notably in O/C/G/Q) with clean, squared terminals and minimal modulation, producing a crisp, contemporary texture. Uppercase proportions feel broad and stable, while the lowercase maintains straightforward, single-storey forms (a, g) and a simple, vertical i/j with round dots. Numerals are similarly robust and clear, with smooth curves and compact interior spaces that hold up well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display typography where its broad, sturdy shapes can project impact. It also works well for branding and packaging that needs a contemporary, approachable feel, and for large-format signage where clarity and presence are priorities.
The overall tone is confident and contemporary, with a friendly, accessible warmth from the rounded geometry. Its weight and width give it a loud, poster-ready voice, while the clean construction keeps it feeling modern and purposeful rather than decorative.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with simple, geometric forms and a friendly roundness, balancing bold presence with straightforward readability. The construction suggests an intention toward versatile display use in modern commercial and editorial contexts.
Spacing reads generous and even in the sample text, contributing to strong word shapes and an assertive rhythm. Diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are sharp and clean against the otherwise rounded palette, adding energy without breaking consistency.
