A heavy, geometric sans with compact proportions and a large x-height. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and curves read as smooth, near-circular forms, especially in C/G/O/Q and the bowls of B/P/R. Terminals are largely blunt and squared, producing a firm, sign-like silhouette; counters are moderately open, and spacing appears even, giving text a steady rhythm at large sizes. Numerals are similarly robust and straightforward, with simple, high-impact shapes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and display typography where strong presence and quick recognition are needed. It also works well for branding and packaging systems that rely on bold, simple letterforms, and for short UI or signage labels at larger sizes.
The overall tone is modern and no-nonsense, projecting confidence and clarity. Its solid color and uncomplicated construction feel approachable rather than delicate, making it well suited to direct, message-forward design.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact geometric sans optimized for clear, forceful display use. Its large x-height and sturdy construction suggest an emphasis on legibility and visual punch in modern layouts.
The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, reinforcing a geometric, contemporary voice. The punctuation and dots appear round and heavy, matching the font’s strong typographic color in continuous text.
