A very heavy, rounded sans with broad, simplified letterforms and smooth curves balanced by flat terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing sturdy counters that stay open even at dense settings. The lowercase is compact with a single-storey a and g, short-to-moderate extenders, and a generally even, blocky rhythm. Numerals are bold and geometric, with wide bowls and strong, stable shapes designed to hold up at large sizes.
Best suited for headlines, display typography, and short bursts of text where impact and clarity are prioritized—such as posters, branding, packaging, signage, and social graphics. It can work for subheads and callouts in editorial layouts when set with enough leading and tracking to keep the heavy shapes from crowding.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, combining a contemporary, no-nonsense solidity with soft, rounded edges. It reads as energetic and assertive without feeling sharp or technical, making it well suited to upbeat, attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a clean, contemporary sans form, using rounded geometry and simplified construction to remain friendly while staying highly legible at display sizes.
Round letters (O, Q, C) lean toward near-circular forms, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are thick and emphatic, giving the alphabet a strong, poster-like presence. The weight creates tight internal space in smaller counters, so the font benefits from generous spacing and larger sizes for maximum clarity.
