A heavy, geometric sans with broad, even strokes and rounded curve construction. Counters are relatively tight and apertures lean toward closed, giving the letters a compact, blocky color on the page. Terminals are clean and blunt, with minimal modulation, and curves (C, O, S) read as smooth, near-circular forms. Lowercase features a single-storey a and g, a sturdy, straight-shouldered n/m, and a compact e with a strong horizontal bar; figures are bold and simple with a clear, utilitarian silhouette.
Best suited for short-form display use such as headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging callouts, and wayfinding where strong emphasis is needed. It can work for brief UI labels or sports-style graphics, but its dense color suggests avoiding long passages of small body text.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, with a friendly softness from the rounded geometry. Its dense, high-impact presence feels practical and no-nonsense, suited to messaging that should read as direct, energetic, and confident.
Designed to deliver maximum visual impact with clean, geometric construction and simple letterforms. The intent appears to be a modern, approachable display sans that stays legible under strong weight while maintaining an orderly, utilitarian rhythm.
At text sizes the weight and compact counters create a dark typographic color, while the simple forms keep shapes recognizable. The family’s rhythm is steady and mechanical, with consistent spacing and proportions that favor impact over delicacy.
