A heavy, geometric sans with smooth, rounded curves and largely uniform stroke thickness. Uppercase forms are compact and stable, with broad bowls and clear circular geometry in letters like C, O, and Q. Lowercase shows single-storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and open apertures on letters such as c and e, keeping counters clear at display sizes. Terminals are mostly straight-cut with subtly softened joins, producing a solid, even rhythm across words and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where strong color and clear silhouettes are desired. It also works well for packaging and signage that needs quick recognition and a modern, approachable feel, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is contemporary and friendly, balancing a straightforward, no-nonsense presence with rounded shapes that feel approachable rather than rigid. Its weight and compact proportions give it a confident, attention-getting voice suited to bold statements.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary geometric sans voice with maximum impact and straightforward legibility, using rounded construction and compact proportions to stay friendly while remaining assertive in display settings.
The numerals follow the same geometric logic, with rounded forms on 0/6/8/9 and a simple, sturdy construction that reads cleanly in the sample text. The ampersand is compact and heavy, matching the font’s blunt, high-impact texture.
