A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded outer curves. Strokes are largely uniform, producing a solid, poster-like color on the page, while counters remain fairly compact in letters like B, e, a, and s. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (a, g) and short ascenders/descenders, contributing to a sturdy, compressed texture in text. Terminals are mostly blunt with subtle rounding, and diagonal joins (K, V, W, X, Y) are crisp without calligraphic modulation.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and short statements where a strong, high-visibility voice is needed. It works well for contemporary branding, packaging, and signage, especially when you want a clear, geometric sans that holds up at large sizes and in bold compositions.
The overall tone is direct and assertive, with a contemporary, no-nonsense presence. Its rounded geometry keeps it from feeling harsh, adding a mildly approachable, upbeat character that reads as modern and utilitarian rather than decorative.
The design appears intended as a contemporary workhorse display sans: broad, sturdy letterforms with geometric construction and minimal stylistic noise. It prioritizes punchy presence and clarity in attention-grabbing contexts, while maintaining a friendly, rounded sans sensibility.
In larger setting the tight apertures and dense counters create strong impact, while in longer passages the heavy weight and compact interior spaces can make words feel packed and energetic. Figures are robust and highly legible, with round 0/8/9 and a clean, straightforward 1.
