A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and sturdy, mostly monoline strokes. Curves are smooth and round, with wide counters and open apertures that keep forms from clogging at display sizes. Terminals are clean and blunt, and joins stay crisp, giving the letters a firm, built-from-shapes feel. Uppercase forms read compact and stable, while the lowercase shows simple, contemporary construction with a single-storey a and g and a prominent, rounded bowl structure throughout.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and branding where bold, clean shapes need to read quickly at a distance. It will also work well for posters, packaging, and signage systems that benefit from strong silhouettes and open counters.
The overall tone is modern and self-assured, balancing friendliness from its rounded geometry with a no-nonsense weight and presence. It feels contemporary and practical rather than playful, projecting clarity and strength in headlines.
The design appears intended as a versatile geometric display sans that prioritizes impact and legibility, pairing wide, stable proportions with simple, contemporary letterforms for modern brand and editorial use.
The numerals are robust and highly legible, with rounded shapes and consistent stroke weight that match the letters closely. Spacing and rhythm in the sample text look even and solid, producing dense, high-impact lines that suit short to medium text blocks at larger sizes.
