A heavy, high-contrast sans with crisp, clean contours and a largely geometric construction. Round letters are built from near-circular bowls with smooth joins, while verticals remain firm and straight, creating a strong black footprint and clear rhythm in lines of text. Terminals tend to be squared and decisive, and counters are open enough to keep forms readable at display sizes. The lowercase shows compact, sturdy shapes (notably a double‑storey a) with a short-shouldered r and a single-storey g featuring a distinct ear, giving the texture a slightly editorial, text-forward feel despite the weight.
Best suited for display applications where impact and clarity matter, such as headlines, posters, cover lines, brand wordmarks, and packaging. It can work for short blocks of editorial text or pull quotes when set with adequate size and breathing room.
The overall tone is confident and contemporary, with a no-nonsense voice suited to headlines and emphatic statements. Its strong contrast and crisp edges add a slightly formal, editorial flavor without feeling ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, geometric sans voice with added sharpness from high contrast, balancing clean construction with enough lowercase character to read as editorial rather than purely corporate.
Capitals are broad and stable with clear differentiation between similar forms, and numerals are robust with large apertures and straightforward geometry. The font’s dense strokes create high impact, but the pronounced contrast and tight interior spaces suggest it will be most comfortable when given generous size or spacing.
