A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and large, round counters. Strokes are consistently thick with smooth joins and gently rounded corners, giving the letterforms a solid, even color on the line. Curves are strongly circular (notably in C, O, G, and e), while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) keep a sturdy, architectural feel. Terminals are blunt and clean, apertures tend toward the tight side, and the lowercase shows simple, single-storey shapes (a, g) that reinforce a straightforward, contemporary rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and short-to-medium phrases where a strong, contemporary presence is needed. It should perform well in branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from high visual impact and a clean geometric tone.
The overall tone is bold and direct while staying friendly due to its rounded geometry. It reads as modern and utilitarian rather than elegant, with a slightly playful, approachable character that works well for attention-grabbing statements.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visibility and a modern, geometric feel through thick strokes, broad proportions, and simplified, rounded constructions. It prioritizes clarity at display sizes and a confident voice for prominent messaging.
In text, the dense stroke weight and relatively closed openings create a strong, poster-like texture; spacing appears tuned for impact more than delicacy. Numerals match the letters in weight and roundness, keeping a cohesive, robust voice across headings and short lines.
