A heavy, geometric sans with broad, rounded bowls and a compact overall footprint. Strokes are uniform and dense, with smooth curves balanced by flat terminals and squared-off joins in places, creating a sturdy, poster-like silhouette. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, and the lowercase features simple, single-storey forms with wide apertures where possible, keeping shapes legible despite the mass. Numerals follow the same blocky, rounded logic, reading evenly alongside the letters.
Best suited to short-form text where impact matters: headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and large UI/wayfinding. The thick strokes and compact counters favor display sizes and bold typographic layouts over long, small-size reading.
The typeface projects a direct, confident tone with an approachable, contemporary feel. Its saturated black shapes and simple construction give it a no-nonsense voice that still feels friendly rather than severe.
The design appears intended as a high-impact workhorse sans: a clean geometric structure pushed to a heavy weight for strong emphasis, simple reproduction, and clear recognition at a distance.
Caps are strongly geometric and stable, while the lowercase adds softness through rounded shoulders and bowls. Diacritics and punctuation shown (e.g., i/j dots and apostrophe) are simple and robust, matching the weight and minimizing delicate detail.
