A heavy, geometric sans with broad, rounded curves and sturdy, straight-sided stems. Counters are generally open but compact, with circular bowls (notably in O/Q and numerals) and flat, firmly cut terminals. The overall rhythm is solid and even, with minimal stroke modulation and a strong baseline presence; diagonals (V/W/Y) are wide and stable, while joins and corners are slightly softened to avoid a harsh, mechanical feel.
Best suited for display settings where strong typographic presence is needed—headlines, brand marks, posters, and retail or wayfinding applications. It also works well for short UI labels, badges, and packaging copy where clarity and impact matter more than long-form reading comfort.
The tone is assertive and contemporary, combining a utilitarian clarity with a friendly, approachable roundness. Its dense color and simplified forms feel straightforward and dependable, lending a confident, headline-forward voice without becoming ornate or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with simple, geometric construction and dependable readability at larger sizes. It prioritizes a consistent, high-density texture and clear silhouettes, aiming for modern versatility in branding and display typography.
Uppercase shapes read particularly strong and sign-like, with ample verticals and simplified interior shaping. Lowercase forms keep the same geometric logic, with single-storey constructions where visible and compact apertures that emphasize a bold, poster-ready texture. Numerals are large and sturdy, matching the letters’ weight and roundness for consistent mixed setting.
