A heavy, geometric sans with broad, rounded bowls and mostly uniform stroke weight. Curves are built from near-circular forms, while terminals are cleanly cut, giving the shapes a crisp, poster-like finish. Counters are relatively tight and the joins feel sturdy, producing dense color on the line. Uppercase forms are wide and stable; lowercase characters keep simple, single-storey constructions where applicable, with short ascenders/descenders that help maintain an even rhythm in text.
Best suited to display settings where strong visual weight is an advantage—headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for short UI labels or callouts when you want a friendly, high-contrast-in-size presence, but its dense texture suggests using it sparingly for longer passages.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, combining a friendly roundness with a no-nonsense solidity. It reads as contemporary and slightly playful, with an upbeat, branded feel that favors impact over delicacy.
Designed to deliver a modern, geometric look with maximum punch and approachability. The consistent stroke weight, rounded construction, and compact counters suggest an emphasis on bold branding and attention-grabbing typography that stays clean and readable at larger sizes.
The round letters (O, Q, a, e, o) emphasize a strong circular motif, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) remain blunt and weighty, reinforcing the font’s blocky presence. Figures are similarly robust, with simple, highly legible silhouettes suited to large sizes.
