A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and sturdy, low-contrast strokes. Curves are built from smooth, circular bowls and soft shoulders, while terminals are mostly straight-cut with subtly rounded corners, creating a compact, dense silhouette. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and the overall rhythm is steady and even, with simple, highly legible letterforms and strong horizontal emphasis.
Best suited to high-impact settings such as headlines, display typography, branding, packaging, and wayfinding where bold, readable forms need to carry at a glance. It can work for short bursts of copy in marketing or UI callouts, but its dense weight is most effective when used sparingly and with generous spacing.
The tone is bold and direct, with an approachable friendliness coming from the rounded geometry. It feels contemporary and energetic—more about clarity and presence than refinement—making text look assertive without becoming aggressive.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with simple, geometric shapes and softened corners, balancing punchy visibility with a friendly, contemporary voice. The forms prioritize quick recognition and consistent texture, aiming for reliable performance in bold display contexts.
The lowercase shows single-story forms (notably the a and g), reinforcing a clean, contemporary feel. Figures are robust and straightforward, with the 1 featuring a simple angled top and the 0 reading as a wide oval, matching the font’s rounded construction.
