A heavy, geometric sans with broad, even strokes and clean, rounded curves. Counters are generally tight, giving the letters a compact, high-ink footprint, while terminals and joins stay crisp and controlled. Round forms (C, O, G) read as near-circular with smooth modulation, and straight-sided shapes (E, F, H, N) feel sturdy and square-shouldered. The lowercase is similarly weighty, with simple, single-storey forms (a, g) and short, firm apertures that keep the texture dense and consistent in blocks of text.
Best suited for display settings where strong presence is needed—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and bold UI moments. It can work for short callouts or navigation labels, but the tight counters and heavy color are most effective at moderate-to-large sizes rather than long reading passages.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a friendly geometric warmth rather than a clinical feel. Its dense color and rounded construction project confidence and immediacy, making it feel contemporary and approachable while still emphatic.
Designed to deliver a modern, high-impact sans voice with geometric clarity and a dense typographic color. The emphasis appears to be on bold legibility and visual authority, keeping shapes simple, rounded, and consistent for strong recognition in titles and branding.
At larger sizes the compact counters create strong silhouettes and a uniform rhythm, while at smaller sizes the density can reduce interior clarity in letters like a, e, s, and g. The numerals match the same robust, rounded construction, with forms that prioritize impact over delicacy.
