A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and generous counters. Strokes are monoline and clean, with rounded curves and minimally softened joins that keep the texture smooth at large sizes. Terminals are largely straight-cut, giving the letters a crisp, modern finish, while the overall shapes stay compact and stable with consistent width and spacing. Numerals follow the same robust construction, with simple, open forms and strong verticals that read clearly in display settings.
This font is well suited for headlines, posters, and bold brand statements where a solid, modern sans is needed. It can work effectively for packaging and signage thanks to its large counters and steady rhythm, and it performs best at display sizes where its width and weight can be used as a primary visual element.
The overall tone feels friendly and confident, combining a straightforward, modern voice with a slightly playful softness from the rounded geometry. Its weight and width make it assertive and attention-grabbing without feeling aggressive, leaning toward an approachable, contemporary character.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, geometric workhorse for display typography—prioritizing strong presence, simple construction, and clear silhouettes. Its rounded geometry and clean cuts suggest a goal of balancing impact with approachability for modern branding and editorial headlines.
Round letters (like C, O, Q) are very circular with smooth arcs, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, L) keep strong, even stems. The lowercase shows simple, sturdy construction with single-storey forms where applicable, helping the font maintain a cohesive, uncluttered look in continuous text at larger sizes.
