A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and a compact internal rhythm. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and corners are gently softened rather than sharply squared, giving the forms a rounded-block construction. Counters are relatively tight and openings are small in letters like a, e, and s, which increases density and visual weight. The lowercase is built around a tall x-height with sturdy verticals and short extenders, while the overall spacing reads even and poster-oriented at display sizes.
Best suited to display applications where impact and clarity are paramount—headlines, posters, large-format signage, and bold brand statements. It also fits packaging and social graphics where a dense, confident typographic color helps text stand out against busy backgrounds.
The tone is assertive but approachable: bold enough for attention-grabbing headlines while the rounded shaping keeps it friendly and contemporary. Its wide stance and dense blackness suggest confidence and energy, with a slightly playful, everyday practicality rather than a formal or elegant voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a clean, geometric construction and softened edges, balancing strength with approachability. Its proportions and compact counters aim for a bold, contemporary voice that remains legible and consistent across letters and figures.
In the sample text, the strong color and tight counters create a solid typographic block that holds up well in large sizes. The numerals follow the same rounded, compact logic, producing a consistent, uniform texture across mixed alphanumeric settings.
