A heavy, geometric sans with compact proportions and a steady, even stroke. Curves are round and full (notably in O, C, and G), while terminals are cleanly cut with squared ends, producing a crisp silhouette. Counters tend to be relatively tight and apertures more closed, giving the face a dense, solid color in text. The lowercase shows simple, sturdy constructions with a double-storey “a” and single-storey “g,” and the numerals follow the same rounded, weighty rhythm for consistent emphasis.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, contemporary voice is needed. It should also work for signage and interface elements that benefit from compact, sturdy letterforms and quick recognition. For body copy, it will be most comfortable when given generous size and spacing due to its dense internal shapes.
The overall tone is modern and assertive, with a straightforward, no-nonsense presence. Its geometric smoothness keeps it approachable, while the dense letterforms add authority and impact. The result feels contemporary and practical rather than decorative.
The design appears intended as a modern workhorse sans with a geometric backbone and high visual impact. It emphasizes solidity and clarity through consistent stroke weight, compact counters, and clean terminals, aiming for reliable performance in attention-grabbing settings.
At display sizes the round forms read smooth and controlled, while in longer lines the tight counters and closed apertures create a strong typographic “black” that prioritizes emphasis over airiness. The shapes are broadly uniform and disciplined, supporting clear scanning in headings and UI-style labels.
