A heavy, geometric sans with compact proportions and smooth, rounded curves paired with straight, sturdy stems. The letterforms feel dense and evenly weighted, with low stroke contrast and broad counters that stay open at display sizes. Terminals are largely blunt and clean, and joins are simplified for strong silhouettes; diagonals (like in A, V, W, X) are wide and stable rather than sharp. The numerals are bold and rounded, with simple, easily read shapes that match the alphabet’s solid rhythm.
Best suited to display contexts where strong presence is needed: headlines, poster typography, brand marks, packaging, and short UI callouts. The sturdy shapes and open counters help it stay readable at large sizes, while its dense weight gives it impact on both light and high-contrast backgrounds.
The overall tone is assertive and straightforward, with a friendly, modern bluntness that reads as practical rather than delicate. Its bold, simplified shapes project reliability and clarity, giving it a contemporary, no-nonsense voice suitable for attention-first typography.
Designed to deliver maximum visual impact with minimal complexity: a bold, geometric voice that stays clean, readable, and consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The intent appears focused on modern branding and display typography where confident, friendly solidity is the goal.
Spacing and internal shapes are tuned for big, clear word images, with minimal ornamental detail and an emphasis on consistent mass. The lowercase shows single-storey, simplified constructions (notably in a, g) that reinforce a geometric, modern feel and maintain strong legibility when set large.
