A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and rounded, circular construction in bowls and counters. Strokes are monoline and dense, producing a compact, high-ink silhouette with minimal internal openings at smaller sizes. Terminals are clean and blunt, and curves appear smooth and continuous, giving letters like O/C/G a strongly circular backbone. Lowercase forms are sturdy and simple, with single-storey a and g, a compact e, and a short, robust t; punctuation dots are round and prominent. Numerals are similarly weighty and geometric, with large counters and a strong, billboard-like presence.
Best suited to display typography where impact matters: headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, packaging, and bold brand marks. It also works well for short UI labels, badges, and social graphics when set with generous size and breathing room.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, combining a modern geometric feel with a slightly retro, poster-driven energy. Its rounded shapes and thick strokes read as friendly and informal while still feeling confident and assertive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with simple, geometric forms—favoring clarity of silhouette and a friendly roundness over fine detail. It aims for attention-grabbing display performance with a contemporary, approachable character.
Because of the heavy weight and tight counters, readability can drop quickly at small text sizes or in long paragraphs. The wide set and strong shapes make spacing and line breaks feel substantial, especially in all-caps settings.
