A heavy, geometric sans with rounded curves and subtly softened corners. Strokes stay broadly consistent, producing solid, blocky silhouettes with generous weight and sturdy verticals. Round letters like O, C, and G are built from near-circular forms with smooth terminals, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) read crisp and stable rather than sharp. Lowercase shapes are compact and robust, with short ascenders/descenders and round counters; the single-storey a and g emphasize a simplified, contemporary construction. Numerals are wide and bold with clear interior spaces, maintaining strong legibility at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines and short-form copy where impact is the priority—posters, signage, packaging, and bold brand wordmarks. It also works well for digital hero text and social graphics where strong silhouettes and friendly roundness help maintain clarity at a glance.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a confident, poster-ready presence. Its rounded geometry gives it a friendly, slightly retro flavor, while the dense weight and clean structure keep it assertive and modern.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver maximum visual punch while staying approachable: a geometric, rounded construction optimized for bold messaging, clear shapes, and a lively, contemporary feel.
The design favors broad, open forms and clear counter shapes, helping withstand tight reproduction and high-contrast applications. Spacing in the sample text supports chunky word shapes and impactful headings, with a consistent rhythm across mixed case and numerals.
