A heavy, geometric sans with rounded bowls and broad, even strokes that stay consistent across curves and straights. The proportions feel compact and efficient, with generous counters and simplified joins that keep shapes clear at large sizes. Terminals are mostly straight and blunt, and diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are wide and stable, producing a strong, blocky rhythm. Lowercase forms are plain and functional—single‑storey a and g, a minimal r, and a compact t—supporting a coherent, no-nonsense texture in text.
This face performs strongly in headlines, posters, and hero text where a compact, high-impact presence is needed. It also suits branding and packaging that benefit from a modern, geometric voice, and works well for bold UI labels or signage where quick recognition is important.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, designed to read as dependable and direct rather than decorative. Rounded geometry adds approachability, while the heavy weight communicates confidence and emphasis.
The design intent appears focused on delivering a clean, contemporary geometric sans that maintains clarity while maximizing visual weight. Its simplified construction and rounded forms aim to balance strong emphasis with approachable neutrality.
The numeral set is similarly sturdy and geometric, with clear differentiation between forms and ample interior space in 6/8/9. In the text sample, the dense color and tight, consistent shapes make it best suited to short, prominent settings where impact matters most.
