A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and compact interior spaces. Strokes are uniform and substantial, with rounded curves that meet into crisp, squared terminals, creating a sturdy, block-like silhouette. Counters are tight—especially in letters like a, e, s, and g—while rounds (o, O, 8) read as near-circular forms with thick rings. The lowercase uses a single-storey a and g and keeps a clean, simplified construction throughout, producing a dense, even typographic color at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and short emphatic copy where weight and width can deliver immediate impact. It also fits brand marks, packaging callouts, and signage that benefits from a strong, geometric voice. For long passages, it will read as dense due to its tight apertures and heavy typographic color.
The overall tone is bold and assertive while remaining approachable due to its smooth curves and uncomplicated shapes. It feels contemporary and utilitarian, with a slightly playful, friendly edge that works well for attention-grabbing messaging. The tight apertures and hefty weight give it a no-nonsense, impactful voice.
The design appears intended as a high-impact geometric sans that maximizes presence through thick strokes and broad letterforms while keeping construction simple and consistent. Its simplified lowercase and compact counters suggest a focus on bold display use and clear, contemporary branding.
In text, the heavy mass and small counters create strong presence and rhythm, but also a compact, dark texture; the design relies on broad forms and minimal detailing for clarity. Numerals are similarly stout and headline-forward, matching the uppercase’s solidity and the lowercase’s simplified geometry.
