A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly curved joins. Strokes stay consistent in thickness, with large counters and simplified interior shapes that keep forms readable at display sizes. Curves resolve into soft, squared-off terminals, giving letters a compact, sturdy silhouette. The lowercase is straightforward and open, with a single-storey “a” and “g”, and punctuation and numerals follow the same blocky, rounded logic.
Best suited to headlines and short text where its mass and rounded geometry can read as a deliberate graphic choice. It works well for posters, branding marks, packaging, and signage that need a friendly but assertive voice. In longer settings it will be most effective with generous spacing and larger sizes to avoid a dense texture.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, mixing a sturdy, no-nonsense weight with softened corners that feel friendly rather than aggressive. It suggests a contemporary-retro sensibility—confident, energetic, and designed to be noticed. The rhythm is punchy and graphic, making text feel like signage or headline copy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a softened, approachable edge, using rounded-rectangle geometry to create consistent silhouettes and a cohesive, contemporary display feel. It prioritizes bold recognition, simple counters, and a clean, unified shape language across letters and figures.
Round letters like C, G, O, and Q lean toward superelliptical shapes rather than perfect circles, while straight-sided letters retain gently eased corners for consistency. Diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are broad and stable, keeping the heavy weight from looking brittle. Numerals are similarly compact and bold, with clear, simple apertures.
