A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and sturdy, monoline strokes. Curves are built from clean circular/elliptical forms, producing large, open counters in letters like O, Q, and 8, while apertures in C, S, and e stay relatively compact for a solid, continuous texture. Terminals are predominantly flat and squared, with crisp joins in diagonals (K, M, N, W) and a firm, stable baseline. Lowercase forms read as simple and workmanlike, with single-storey a and g and short, robust extenders that keep the overall silhouette compact.
It performs best in large sizes where its broad shapes and dense color can deliver maximum impact—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and short UI or signage phrases. For longer passages, it will create a strong, emphatic texture suited to brief, high-priority copy rather than extended reading.
The tone is bold and self-assured, with a friendly, contemporary plainspokenness. Its weight and breadth give it a strong voice for attention-grabbing messaging, while the geometric construction keeps it neutral and modern rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to provide a high-impact, contemporary sans with a geometric backbone—built for clarity at display sizes and for creating a bold, uniform typographic presence in modern branding and editorial layouts.
Figures are wide and sign-like, with clear differentiation (notably the open, rounded 6/9 and the compact, sturdy 1). The overall color on the page is dense and even, favoring impact over delicate detail.
