A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and generously rounded curves. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with smooth circular bowls (notably in O/C/G and the lowercase e) and crisp, square-ended terminals throughout. Counters are open and fairly large for the weight, keeping letters like a, e, s, and g legible, while the overall rhythm is compact and dense due to the thickness. Diacritics aren’t shown; numerals are robust and simple, with clear, blocky shapes and minimal stylistic flourish.
This font is well suited to headlines and short passages where strong visual impact is needed, such as posters, brand marks, packaging, and wayfinding or storefront signage. The large counters and simple geometry help it remain readable in bold statements and at medium sizes in UI or marketing layouts.
The overall tone is confident and contemporary, with a straightforward, no-nonsense presence softened by rounded geometry. It reads as friendly and accessible rather than technical, projecting clarity and impact without feeling decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact sans that stays clear and approachable through rounded, geometric construction and restrained detailing. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and even texture for attention-grabbing typography while maintaining straightforward legibility.
Distinctive details include a clean, horizontal bar in the lowercase e, a single-storey a, and a compact, utilitarian t with a short crossbar. The punctuation and sample text show strong word shape cohesion, making the face feel consistent and dependable in display settings.
