A heavy, geometric sans with round bowls, smooth curves, and uniformly thick strokes that keep the texture steady across lines. The proportions are compact with a tall x-height, short ascenders/descenders, and wide counters that preserve clarity at display sizes. Terminals are clean and mostly squared-off, with minimal modulation and straightforward joins; diagonals (V, W, Y) are sturdy and symmetrical. Numerals are simple and legible, with a clean, open “4,” a rounded “8,” and an oval “0.”
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where strong presence and quick readability are needed. The compact proportions and tall x-height also make it useful for short UI labels, wayfinding, and packaging text when set with adequate spacing.
The overall tone is assertive and pragmatic while still feeling approachable due to its rounded forms. It reads as contemporary and no-nonsense—built for clear, high-impact messaging rather than elegance or personality-driven quirks.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a clean, contemporary voice, combining geometric roundness with compact proportions for efficient, attention-grabbing typography. The consistent stroke weight and simplified details prioritize clarity and reproducibility across print and digital applications.
Capitals are broad and stable, with circular letters (C, G, O, Q) emphasizing a geometric construction. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, producing a dense, headline-friendly rhythm; the double-storey “a” and the single-storey “g” contribute to a familiar, editorial sans feel.
