A heavy, geometric sans with smooth, rounded curves and broadly uniform stroke weight. Counters are open and generously sized for a dense weight, while terminals are clean and mostly squared-off, giving the shapes a sturdy, engineered feel. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g,” circular dots, and compact joins, creating an even, consistent texture in running text. Figures are simple and robust with wide bowls and minimal detailing, matching the typeface’s overall solid rhythm.
Well-suited to headlines, brand marks, and short statements where strong impact and clarity are priorities. Its sturdy shapes and open counters also make it effective for signage and packaging, especially where a modern, friendly voice is desired.
The tone is confident and contemporary, combining friendliness from the rounded forms with a blunt, no-nonsense presence from the strong weight and simple construction. It feels energetic and attention-grabbing without becoming decorative, reading as modern and approachable.
The design appears intended as an impactful, contemporary sans for display-forward typography, emphasizing geometric simplicity, consistent weight, and easy recognizability. It prioritizes punchy presence and clean legibility over fine detail or calligraphic nuance.
Round letters (O, C, G, Q) lean toward near-circular construction, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are crisp and stable, reinforcing a geometric backbone. Spacing appears balanced for display use, producing a dark, even typographic color at large sizes.
