A heavy, rounded sans with smooth, geometric bowls and a solid, even stroke. The forms are broad and sturdy, with softened corners and generous curves in letters like C, G, O, and S, balanced by flat terminals and crisp horizontal cuts in E, F, and T. Counters are relatively small for the weight, keeping the texture dense and dark, while key shapes stay open enough to read clearly at display sizes. Numerals follow the same robust, simplified construction, with consistent thickness and minimal detailing.
Best suited for display typography where weight and presence are an advantage—headlines, hero text, posters, branding marks, and bold packaging. Its dense texture and rounded geometry also work well for short UI labels or signage where quick recognition and strong emphasis are needed.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, combining a contemporary geometric feel with approachable roundedness. It reads as energetic and bold without becoming aggressive, giving headlines a straightforward, confident voice.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a clean, contemporary silhouette, prioritizing strong shapes, consistent rhythm, and friendly rounded geometry for prominent, attention-getting text.
Diagonal letters (K, V, W, X, Y) use thick, stable strokes that preserve a uniform color across lines of text. The lowercase has a strong, simplified skeleton that maintains clarity in dense settings, with single-story a and g forms that reinforce the geometric, modern character.
