A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and smooth, circular bowls. Stroke weight is consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing strong color and dense counters. Terminals are clean and largely squared-off, while curves stay generously rounded, creating a clear circle-and-rectangle construction. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g,” compact apertures, and sturdy verticals that keep letters stable at large sizes.
Best suited for display typography where impact is the priority: headlines, hero text, posters, and bold brand wordmarks. It can also work well for packaging and short marketing lines where a compact, high-contrast text color on the page is desirable.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, pairing a punchy, attention-grabbing weight with approachable rounded forms. It reads contemporary and energetic rather than formal, lending a casual confidence that feels suited to bold messaging.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with a simple, geometric construction and friendly curvature. The letterforms prioritize immediate legibility at large sizes and a contemporary, approachable voice for branding and promotional use.
Large counters and simple, geometric silhouettes make the shapes easy to recognize, while the tight apertures and thick joins increase visual mass. Numerals follow the same robust, rounded geometry, maintaining a consistent rhythm alongside the capitals and lowercase in display settings.
