A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and low stroke contrast. Curves are built from smooth, near-circular bowls with clean joins, while terminals are predominantly straight and crisply cut, giving the design a sturdy, engineered feel. Counters are generous for the weight, and the overall rhythm is even, with consistent stem widths and simple, unadorned shapes across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
This font is well suited to headlines, brand marks, packaging, and poster typography where strong presence and quick recognition are priorities. It can also work for short UI labels or wayfinding when a bold, contemporary voice is needed, though the heavy weight is best reserved for display-sized text.
The tone is modern and self-assured, with a friendly openness created by rounded forms and spacious counters. Its strong weight and wide stance read as direct and energetic, suitable for bold, contemporary messaging without feeling decorative or quirky.
The design appears intended as a versatile, geometric display sans that balances impact with clarity. By pairing wide proportions with simple construction and open counters, it aims to deliver a modern, approachable look that stays legible under heavy weight and in high-contrast applications.
Distinctive details include the single-storey lowercase “a,” a compact, tight-shouldered “r,” and a “t” with a short, straightforward crossbar. Numerals are robust and highly legible, with rounded figures (like 0, 8, 9) matching the letterforms’ circular construction.
