A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and clean, unmodulated strokes. Curves are built from smooth circular/elliptical forms, while terminals are mostly flat and square, creating a crisp, constructed feel. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and the overall rhythm is steady and even, with a straightforward, no-nonsense skeleton and minimal detailing.
Best suited for display typography where a strong, clean presence is needed—headlines, posters, and brand marks in print or digital. The weight and wide stance also make it effective for short-to-medium lines in packaging and signage where clarity and impact matter.
The tone reads confident and contemporary, with a friendly openness coming from its round forms and generous curves. Its strong weight and simplified construction give it a direct, practical voice that feels suited to clear messaging and attention-grabbing headings.
Likely designed as a modern, geometric workhorse for bold communication—prioritizing clarity, consistency, and visual punch over ornament. The forms suggest an emphasis on simple geometry and dependable legibility in prominent sizes.
Round letters like O/C/G show near-circular structure and consistent curvature, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are sturdy and sharply joined. The numerals match the same geometric logic, with simple, bold shapes intended for quick recognition at display sizes.
