A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and smooth, near-monoline strokes. Curves are built from clean circular/elliptical forms with generously open counters, while joins stay crisp and controlled, giving letters a solid, contemporary blockiness. Terminals are largely straight or softly squared, and the overall spacing and rhythm feel even and sturdy, supporting large text and punchy headlines.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, brand wordmarks, packaging, and signage where strong visibility and a modern, geometric voice are needed. It also performs well in short blocks of display copy where clarity and impact matter more than fine typographic nuance.
The tone is assertive and contemporary, with a friendly approachability coming from the rounded bowls and open shapes. Its heft reads as confident and straightforward rather than delicate, making it feel energetic and highly legible in attention-grabbing settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, contemporary sans voice that remains readable through large counters and simple geometry. It prioritizes strong presence, clean shapes, and consistent rhythm for modern display typography and brand-forward applications.
Uppercase forms appear broad and stable, while lowercase maintains strong consistency with simple, single-storey constructions where expected (notably the a and g). Numerals are similarly robust, with clear shapes and strong presence, matching the alphabet’s weight and geometric logic.
