A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and clean, even strokes. Curves are smooth and round, while terminals are predominantly flat, giving the letterforms a sturdy, blocklike silhouette. Counters are open and clearly defined (notably in O, P, R, and 8), and the overall rhythm feels steady and uncluttered. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey constructions (a, g) with compact joins and minimal modulation, maintaining a consistent, contemporary texture in text.
Best suited to high-impact applications such as headlines, posters, brand wordmarks, packaging, and short UI or signage labels where strong presence and quick recognition matter. The broad proportions and heavy weight make it especially effective for punchy statements and titles rather than dense, long-form reading.
The tone is confident and direct, with a friendly edge created by rounded bowls and generous curves. Its weight and breadth convey impact and solidity, while the restrained, geometric construction keeps it modern and pragmatic rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, highly legible sans voice with maximum visual impact. It balances geometric roundness with firm, flat terminals to create a dependable display workhorse for branding and attention-driven typography.
Numerals are robust and highly legible at display sizes, with rounded forms (0, 8, 9) matching the letter shapes and more angular diagonals (4, 7) adding crispness. The overall feel prioritizes clarity and presence, with tight, efficient shapes that hold together well in large settings.
