A heavy, geometric sans with broad, round counters and smooth, continuous curves paired with flat terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with clear, open apertures, and the overall construction leans circular (notably in C/G/O/Q) while keeping crisp joins and straightforward diagonals. Lowercase forms are sturdy and simplified, with single-storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and a robust, symmetrical feel throughout. Numerals are bold and compact, designed for strong presence rather than delicate detail.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short bursts of copy where strong visual impact is needed. It works well for branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from bold, simplified letterforms and a modern geometric feel.
The tone is assertive and upbeat: solid, dependable, and approachable without feeling playful or decorative. Its weight and round geometry give it a contemporary, high-impact voice suited to attention-grabbing typography.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence with clean, uncomplicated geometry: a workhorse display sans that stays legible through large counters and straightforward shapes while projecting a confident, contemporary character.
The design favors clarity at large sizes, with generous internal space in rounded letters and minimal modulation. In text settings the heavy color creates a dense rhythm, so spacing and line length will strongly influence readability.
