A heavy, wide sans with rounded geometry and softened corners that keeps counters open despite the dense weight. Curves are built from broad, near-circular bowls with sturdy joins, while horizontals and verticals read as solid, uniform strokes with subtle contrast. The rhythm is tight and punchy, with short terminals and minimal modulation; lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, and figures are bold with large, clear inner shapes.
Best suited for short to medium-length display settings where maximum presence is desired: headlines, hero banners, brand marks, packaging panels, and bold wayfinding or event signage. It also works well for punchy callouts and labels where a friendly but forceful tone is needed.
The overall tone is loud and approachable—confident without feeling sharp or technical. Its rounded construction gives it a friendly, contemporary presence, while the mass and width add a strong, poster-like urgency.
The design appears aimed at delivering high-impact legibility with a warm, rounded voice—balancing bold, wide proportions with open counters to keep words readable at a glance.
The typeface maintains a consistent, geometric logic across rounds (C, O, S) and straights (E, F, T), producing a cohesive, high-ink silhouette. At display sizes it reads cleanly and emphatically, with the wide set contributing to a stable, grounded texture in lines of text.
