A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and firmly built shapes. Curves are generous and near-circular (notably in O, C, and 0), paired with flat terminals and predominantly straight-sided verticals that keep the rhythm steady. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and joins stay clean and simplified, producing dense, poster-ready letterforms. Lowercase forms lean toward single-storey constructions with rounded bowls and short, sturdy arms, maintaining an even, consistent texture across words.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where strong presence and immediate legibility are needed. It also works well for packaging and signage that benefit from a dense, high-impact typographic voice, especially when set with ample spacing or short line lengths.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, combining modern geometry with a friendly roundness. Its mass and simple construction read as confident and direct, making it feel energetic rather than delicate or formal.
Designed to deliver a contemporary, high-impact sans voice built from simple geometric forms. The emphasis appears to be on clarity, boldness, and a friendly, rounded character that holds up in large-scale applications.
The font’s large internal forms and simplified detailing favor quick recognition at display sizes, while the tight counters and strong strokes create a dark, compact color in paragraphs. Numerals match the same geometric logic, with rounded figures and sturdy, grounded silhouettes.
