A heavy, monolinear sans with broad proportions and generous interior spaces. Curves are built from smooth, near-circular bowls and softly rounded corners, while terminals are mostly blunt and squared off, giving the forms a sturdy, engineered feel. The capitals read clean and stable with even stroke weight and simple construction; diagonals are crisp and the curves stay consistent across round letters. Lowercase forms are compact and straightforward, with a single-storey “a” and “g” and short, sturdy joins that keep counters open at text sizes. Numerals are similarly robust and legible, with simple, geometric construction and minimal flourish.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where strong presence and quick recognition are important. It can also work for branding and signage that benefits from a clean, geometric voice, and for short UI labels or callouts where bold clarity is prioritized over long-form reading comfort.
The overall tone is direct and contemporary, projecting clarity and confidence rather than delicacy. Its geometric roundness adds approachability, while the weight and wide set convey strength and high visibility.
The design appears intended as a high-impact, geometric sans that emphasizes straightforward construction, consistent curves, and sturdy letterforms for clear communication at larger sizes and in bold typographic hierarchies.
Spacing appears comfortable in the sample text, supporting dense setting without the shapes collapsing. Round letters (C, O, Q) maintain consistent curvature, and the punctuation and dots read bold and prominent, matching the overall color of the type.
