A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and rounded, softened corners. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with generous bowls and mostly closed apertures that create a dense, poster-like texture in text. Curves are smooth and circular, while joins stay blunt and sturdy, giving letters a chunky, engineered feel. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably the a and g), round dots, and short ascenders/descenders that keep lines visually tight. Numerals follow the same robust geometry, with wide counters and strong horizontal terminals.
Best suited to short-form, high-impact settings such as headlines, display typography, posters, and brand marks. It also works well for packaging and bold UI moments (hero banners, section headers) where a friendly, modern presence is needed. For longer passages, it performs better with generous tracking and leading to avoid a crowded texture.
The overall tone is bold and approachable: energetic, contemporary, and slightly playful due to the rounded geometry and compact internal spaces. It reads as assertive and attention-grabbing without feeling sharp or aggressive, making it feel friendly even at large sizes.
The design appears intended as a contemporary display sans that prioritizes immediacy and visual strength. Its rounded geometric construction and sturdy joins aim to deliver a confident, approachable voice while maintaining clean, modern structure.
In continuous text the heavy weight and tighter apertures increase darkness, so spacing and line-height become important for clarity. The design’s consistent circular construction gives it strong cohesion across caps, lowercase, and figures, with a distinctive, chunky silhouette that stands out in headlines.
