A heavy, geometric sans with compact proportions and broad, even strokes. Curves are built from simple circular/elliptical forms (notably in C, G, O, Q) paired with flat terminals and squared-off joins, giving the outlines a clean, cut-from-solid feel. Counters are relatively small and apertures are somewhat tight, while spacing reads sturdy and deliberate for bold headline settings. The lowercase is simple and functional, with single-storey forms (such as a and g) and minimal detailing; the figures are similarly robust, with a strong, rounded 8 and a dense 0.
Best suited to display use where weight and clarity are priorities: headlines, posters, packaging, and bold branding systems. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when strong emphasis is needed, though the tight apertures and smaller counters suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The tone is direct and assertive, projecting a contemporary, no-nonsense voice. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable, while the dense weight and compact counters add a punchy, confident presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a simple geometric construction, offering an approachable but forceful sans voice for contemporary communication and branding.
Some letters show purposeful squaring of curves and interior corners (for example around C/G/S-like shapes), reinforcing a geometric, industrial cleanliness rather than a purely humanist softness. The overall rhythm stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, prioritizing uniform color and impact over delicate differentiation.
