A heavy, geometric sans with broad, rounded bowls and simple, open counters. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are mostly flat, producing a sturdy, poster-ready texture. Curves feel circle-based (notably in C, G, O, and S), while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y are crisp and direct. The lowercase is compact with a single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a boxy, right-angled t, giving the text a dense, even rhythm at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, logos, and short bursts of copy where strong presence and clarity are priorities. It should perform well in posters, packaging, signage, and bold UI moments such as hero banners or navigation labels where a clean, modern voice is desired.
The overall tone is modern and assertive, with a friendly, approachable edge from the rounded geometry. Its weight and compactness make it feel energetic and promotional, suited to messaging that needs to land quickly and clearly.
The design appears intended as a robust, geometric sans that prioritizes impact and fast recognition. Its simplified shapes and consistent stroke weight suggest a focus on versatile display use—clean enough for contemporary branding while substantial enough to command attention.
The figures are wide and emphatic, with particularly strong circular forms in 0, 8, and 9, and a sharply cut diagonal in 2 and 7 that adds a contemporary bite. The uppercase reads very uniform and stable, while the lowercase introduces a slightly more utilitarian, compact feel, reinforcing legibility and impact in short lines.
