A heavy, geometric sans with broad, even strokes and smoothly rounded curves. Letterforms are built from simple circular and rectangular components, with a generous x-height, open counters, and short, compact extenders. Terminals are mostly blunt and straight-cut, producing a crisp silhouette; joins are clean and consistent, supporting a steady rhythm in continuous text. Numerals follow the same robust, rounded construction and read clearly at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, modern sans voice is needed. It can also work well for packaging and signage that benefits from sturdy forms and clear numerals, particularly at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is straightforward and contemporary, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh, making it feel modern, practical, and slightly friendly while still delivering strong emphasis.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-impact sans that remains legible through simple geometry and open internal shapes. Its consistent, rounded construction suggests an emphasis on clarity, reliability, and a modern graphic presence.
In the sample text, the weight and compact proportions create dense, high-contrast blocks on the page that work especially well for headlines. Curves in letters like C, G, O, and S feel smooth and controlled, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X) maintain a firm, engineered look.
