A heavy, geometric sans with clean, unmodulated strokes and broadly rounded bowls. Curves resolve into crisp, squared terminals and flat horizontals, giving letters a sturdy, constructed feel. Proportions are compact with generous counters for the weight, and the rhythm is even and blocky; round forms like O/Q read very circular while joins and diagonals stay sharp. Numerals and capitals are sturdy and simple, with clear shapes designed for strong presence at larger sizes.
Best suited to display applications where weight and clarity matter—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and bold UI or signage roles. The simple shapes and open counters also keep short-to-medium text readable, especially in large sizes or high-contrast layouts.
The overall tone is direct and contemporary, combining a friendly roundness with a no-nonsense, engineered solidity. It feels assertive without being aggressive, and reads as dependable and practical in its voice.
This font appears designed to deliver a modern geometric sans voice with strong impact and reliable legibility. The combination of circular construction, sturdy terminals, and simplified lowercase forms suggests an intention toward contemporary branding and clear, attention-grabbing display typography.
The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g) that reinforce the geometric, contemporary character. Round letters maintain consistent curvature, while letters like R, K, and X use straightforward diagonals that keep the texture tight and stable. The dot and small details appear robust enough to hold up under heavy weight.
