A heavy, monoline sans with broad proportions and generous counters. Curves are built from clean circular/elliptical geometry, while many strokes finish with flat, square terminals that keep the texture crisp. Uppercase forms are sturdy and fairly uniform, with simple construction in E/F/T and a round O that reads very even. Lowercase shows compact, pragmatic shapes with a double-storey a and g, a short-armed t, and straightforward bowls in b/d/p/q; punctuation and numerals match the same solid, even-weight drawing.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of copy where its strong stroke weight and wide proportions can do the work. It fits branding, packaging, and signage that need clear, assertive letterforms and a contemporary, geometric feel, and it can also serve as a UI or label face when used at larger sizes with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is modern and confident, with a straightforward, no-nonsense voice. Its broad stance and smooth curves add a friendly approachability, while the squared endings and dense weight give it a strong, workmanlike presence.
The design appears intended as a robust, general-purpose geometric sans that prioritizes impact and clarity. It balances smooth, rounded construction with crisp terminals to stay friendly while still reading solid and authoritative in display settings.
In text, the weight produces a dark, stable color with clear word shapes, helped by open apertures and large interior spaces. The figures appear designed for clarity at display sizes, with rounded forms that stay consistent alongside more angular letters like K, V, W, X, and Y.
