A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and uniform stroke weight. Curves are built from clean circular and elliptical forms, producing round counters and smooth joins, while terminals are mostly flat and blunt. Uppercase shapes read sturdy and simplified, with a wide stance and clear interior space; the lowercase follows with similarly rounded construction, a single-storey “a,” and compact, functional details. Numerals are full and stable, favoring simple, legible silhouettes and consistent weight across curved and straight strokes.
Best suited to display settings where bold, contemporary clarity is needed—headlines, posters, brand wordmarks, packaging, and signage. It can also work for short UI labels or callouts when a strong visual emphasis is desired, though its heavy presence is more naturally at home in larger sizes.
The overall tone is modern and assertive, with a friendly neutrality that comes from its rounded geometry and even color on the page. Its weight and width give it a confident, poster-like presence while keeping a clean, no-nonsense voice suitable for contemporary branding.
The design appears intended as a straightforward geometric workhorse: a wide, high-impact sans that prioritizes clean construction, consistent weight, and easy recognition in display typography.
In text, the font creates a strong, even typographic color with relatively open apertures and generous counters that help maintain clarity at larger sizes. The rhythm feels steady and mechanical rather than calligraphic, emphasizing clarity and impact over delicacy.
