A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes are monolinear and solid, with smoothly curved bowls (O, C, G) paired with squared terminals and gently softened corners. The lowercase forms are simple and sturdy, with a single-storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and a squared, utilitarian t. Numerals follow the same blunt, high-ink coverage style, with large, clear shapes and minimal interior space.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and social graphics. Its broad, rounded shapes hold up well at large sizes where the tight counters and strong silhouettes become a feature rather than a limitation.
The overall tone is bold and direct while staying approachable due to the rounded geometry. It reads as contemporary and energetic, with a slightly playful, poster-like presence that prioritizes punch and immediacy over delicacy.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a friendly, geometric voice—combining soft curves and blunt terminals for a contemporary display sans that feels sturdy, readable, and attention-grabbing.
Spacing appears generous for such a dense weight, helping the letters avoid clogging in headline settings, though counters remain tight in letters like e, a, and 8. The design balances circular forms with rectilinear cuts, giving it a clean, engineered rhythm.
