A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and smooth, round curves. Strokes are consistently thick with clean, squared terminals and minimal modulation, giving the design a solid, even color in text. Counters are generally open and spacious for the weight, and curves (C, O, S) read as near-circular with controlled, slightly tightened apertures. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with short-to-moderate extenders and simple construction; the overall rhythm is stable and blocky without feeling condensed.
This typeface works best where impact and clarity are needed: headlines, posters, short advertising copy, packaging, and wayfinding or signage at larger sizes. It can also serve as a bold brand voice in logos and identity systems, especially when a clean, geometric feel is desired.
The font projects a bold, self-assured tone that feels contemporary and approachable. Its rounded geometry keeps it from feeling harsh, while the dense weight adds emphasis and a headline-ready assertiveness.
The design appears intended as an all-purpose, high-impact sans that prioritizes bold presence and straightforward legibility. Its geometry and restrained detailing suggest a focus on modern branding and display typography rather than delicate text setting.
In the sample text, the heavy strokes create strong presence and a dark typographic color, making spacing and line breaks visually prominent. Numerals are robust and highly legible at display sizes, matching the rounded, geometric character of the letters.
