A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and large counters, built from simple circular and rectangular forms. Curves are smooth and generous, while joins and terminals tend toward clean, squared finishes, creating a sturdy, engineered feel. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with compact extenders, and the overall rhythm is wide and open, giving the letters plenty of internal space. Numerals follow the same robust construction, with clear, simplified shapes that hold up at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, hero text, posters, and branding where a strong, wide voice is desirable. It works well for packaging, wayfinding, and signage that benefits from big counters and simplified forms. For longer passages, it’s most effective in short callouts or display blocks where its bold presence can be managed with generous spacing.
The tone is assertive and contemporary, with a friendly edge from its rounded bowls and open counters. Its width and weight convey strength and certainty, reading as energetic and direct rather than delicate or formal. The overall impression suggests modern utility and approachability—suited to bold statements and brand-forward messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a straightforward, high-impact sans that stays clean and legible while projecting strength. Its geometric construction and wide stance suggest a focus on contemporary branding and display typography that reads quickly and feels dependable.
In text settings the wide set and dense strokes create a strong typographic color, so it tends to dominate the page and prefers ample line spacing. The open apertures and roomy counters help maintain clarity despite the heavy weight, especially in large headlines and short bursts of copy.
