This typeface is a heavy, geometric sans with squared-round construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and superellipse-like ovals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and joins are clean and blunt, producing dense, compact letterforms with generous interior counters for the weight. Terminals are predominantly flat, with rounded corners that keep the texture smooth; circular shapes like O and 0 read more like rounded squares, and the overall rhythm is steady and blocky. Uppercase forms are wide and stable, while lowercase maintains a clear, workmanlike structure with single-storey a and g and straightforward, uncluttered details.
It suits bold headlines, posters, and brand marks that need immediate impact and clear letterforms. The sturdy geometry also makes it a good fit for signage and packaging where strong recognition and consistent texture are important.
The font conveys a strong, no-nonsense tone with a contemporary, engineered feel. Its squared-round geometry adds approachability without losing authority, making it read as practical and confident rather than playful or ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, geometric voice with maximum clarity at heavier weights, using rounded-rectangle forms to balance firmness and friendliness. Its simplified, consistent construction suggests an emphasis on contemporary display use and robust visual presence.
Numerals are robust and highly legible at display sizes, matching the same squared-round logic as the letters. The overall color on the page is dark and even, with tight-looking shapes that hold up well in short, impactful lines.
