A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and low stroke contrast. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, while joins and terminals read mostly as clean, flat cuts with subtly softened corners. Counters are open and fairly large for the weight, helping letters stay legible despite the dense strokes. Overall spacing and rhythm feel even and sturdy, with clear, simple silhouettes across caps, lowercase, and figures.
This font is well suited to headlines and display typography where a strong, contemporary sans is needed—posters, brand wordmarks, packaging, and signage. It can also work for short UI labels or callouts when clarity and emphasis matter, especially with sufficient spacing.
The tone is confident and contemporary, with a friendly bluntness that feels direct rather than delicate. Its wide stance and rounded geometry give it a welcoming, approachable presence, while the strong weight adds assertiveness for attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended to provide a robust, geometric sans for high-impact communication, balancing firmness with approachable rounding. It prioritizes simple, recognizable letterforms and consistent weight to maintain clarity in bold, attention-focused settings.
Figures follow the same geometric logic as the letters, with rounded bowls and stable verticals. The lowercase shows a single-storey “g” and simplified forms that reinforce an informal, modern voice. At text sizes it reads best with generous leading, while at display sizes it delivers a solid, compact block of color.
