A compact sans with heavy, even stroke weight and rounded outer curves that keep the texture smooth despite the dense proportions. The shapes favor simple geometry and open, readable counters, with a straight-sided, vertically oriented rhythm that stays consistent across caps and lowercase. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, and the overall spacing feels tight and efficient, producing a solid, dark typographic color at text and display sizes.
Best suited for short to medium-length copy where impact and legibility matter, such as headlines, posters, and signage. The compact proportions and strong stroke weight also work well for packaging, labels, and UI elements where space is limited and text needs to remain clear.
The tone is straightforward and practical, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded curves. It reads as modern and no-nonsense, suited to messaging that wants to feel clear, confident, and accessible rather than ornate or expressive.
Designed to deliver a bold, space-efficient voice with clean geometry and dependable readability. The emphasis appears to be on clarity and consistency across letters and numbers while retaining a slightly rounded, approachable feel.
The lowercase shows a utilitarian construction with compact joins and minimal modulation, helping maintain clarity under heavy weight. Numerals appear sturdy and highly legible, matching the same geometric, rounded-sans logic as the letters.
