A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and large counters. Strokes are uniform with minimal contrast, and terminals are cleanly cut, producing crisp edges and a sturdy, poster-ready silhouette. Round letters (O, C, G) read as near-circular, while straight-sided forms (H, N, E) keep a rigid, architectural feel. Lowercase forms are simple and robust, with single-storey a and g, compact joins, and a short, straight-shouldered r; apertures stay fairly open for clarity at size.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where weight and width can carry impact—posters, brand marks, packaging, and signage. It can also handle short paragraphs or callouts at larger sizes, where its open counters and steady rhythm help maintain readability.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, with a clear, no-nonsense rhythm. Its geometric construction and generous width lend a confident, straightforward voice that feels modern and approachable rather than ornate or expressive.
Likely designed to deliver strong visual presence with a clean, geometric voice. The focus appears to be on legibility, consistency, and punchy texture for modern communication, especially where bold, straightforward typography is needed.
Spacing appears even and comfortable in the sample text, supporting large blocks without looking overly tight. Numerals are similarly stout and highly legible, matching the round/straight geometry of the letters for a consistent texture across mixed content.
