A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and strongly rounded curves. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, compact counters and a solid color on the page. Terminals are clean and mostly squared-off, while bowls and rounded letters (C, O, Q, S) keep a smooth, circular construction. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with sturdy, simple forms and minimal differentiation between similar shapes, emphasizing clarity through mass rather than fine detail.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, and attention-grabbing branding where its dense weight and wide forms can command space. It also works well for packaging and signage that benefits from a friendly, high-impact sans with simple, geometric shapes.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, combining a friendly roundness with an assertive, poster-like presence. Its blunt shapes and tight internal spaces give it a punchy, contemporary voice that reads as energetic rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a clean, geometric construction and approachable round forms, prioritizing bold presence and straightforward readability in short bursts of text.
At text sizes the heavy weight and tight apertures make paragraphs feel dense, while at display sizes the geometry and wide stance become the defining character. Numerals are similarly robust and rounded, matching the letters’ strong, uniform rhythm.
