A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a sturdy, even texture. Counters are generally open and circular, and terminals are clean and blunt, keeping shapes crisp at large sizes. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g with simple, functional construction, while numerals are equally weighty and rounded, emphasizing uniform color on the page.
Best suited for headlines, display typography, and prominent UI or marketing copy where impact and clarity are needed. It can work well in branding systems, packaging, and signage thanks to its sturdy forms and straightforward letter shapes. For long passages, it will read strongly and compactly, making it most effective when given comfortable size and spacing.
The overall tone is confident and contemporary, with a friendly accessibility created by its rounded geometry. Its dense weight and wide stance feel assertive and promotional, while still reading as clean and straightforward rather than decorative. The voice lands in a pragmatic, modern-brand space—bold presence without aggression.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact sans that stays highly legible while projecting confidence. Its geometric construction and simplified lowercase forms suggest an emphasis on clarity, consistency, and brand-friendly versatility in display and short text applications.
In running text, the font creates a strong, dark typographic color with short ascenders/descenders relative to its overall heft, helping lines feel compact. Round letters (O, C, G) read especially smooth and geometric, and the design favors simple, iconic silhouettes that stay stable across mixed-case settings.
