A heavy, geometric sans with broad, rounded bowls and mostly monolinear strokes. Curves are built from near-circular shapes with smooth joins, while terminals and corners tend to be clean and blunt, keeping the forms compact and stable. Counters are generally generous for the weight, and the overall rhythm is even, with simple, high-clarity silhouettes across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short-to-medium text at display sizes where its weight and compact geometry can deliver impact. It performs well in headlines, posters, branding and packaging systems, and clear signage where fast recognition and strong typographic color are desired.
The tone reads confident and approachable, combining a modern, no-nonsense presence with soft geometric roundness. It feels energetic and pragmatic rather than delicate, making it well suited to bold, direct messaging.
The font appears intended as a contemporary workhorse display sans: simple, geometric construction, high legibility, and a strong, unified texture. Its rounded forms soften the impact, aiming for a balance of authority and friendliness in prominent text.
The design emphasizes strong verticals and simplified geometry; angled strokes (notably in letters like A, V, W, and X) feel sturdy and balanced. Numerals match the letterforms in mass and roundness, supporting consistent color in mixed text.
