A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and substantial stroke weight. Curves are smooth and circular in counters and bowls, while joins and terminals are clean and mostly squared-off, giving the forms a sturdy, constructed feel. Uppercase shapes read compact and solid, with large internal spaces in letters like O, D, and P; the lowercase follows the same simple geometry with single-storey forms and round dots on i/j. Numerals are similarly bold and open, emphasizing clarity over finesse.
Best suited for large-scale typography where its bold presence and open shapes can be appreciated—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and high-visibility signage. It can also work for short, punchy UI labels or callouts when a strong, friendly emphasis is needed.
The overall tone is confident and contemporary, with a friendly, approachable softness coming from the rounded bowls and generous counters. Its weight and breadth create an emphatic, attention-grabbing voice that can feel energetic and slightly playful, especially in larger headlines.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a simple, geometric construction: a sturdy sans meant for modern display use where clarity and personality come from proportion, weight, and rounded counters rather than detail.
The design favors straightforward, high-impact silhouettes with minimal modulation, producing strong uniform color in text. Wide round forms and ample counters help prevent the heavy weight from feeling overly cramped, though the massing naturally dominates at smaller sizes.
