This is a heavy, geometric sans with broad, even strokes and rounded bowls that read as built from simple circular and rectangular parts. Curves are smooth and uniform, terminals are clean and mostly flat, and the overall texture is dense with tight counters and sturdy joins. Uppercase forms are compact and blocky with generous weight, while lowercase remains straightforward and workmanlike, keeping a consistent rhythm and strong silhouette across the alphabet and numerals.
It performs best in display contexts such as headlines, posters, and large-format messaging where maximum presence is needed. The sturdy shapes also suit branding, packaging, and signage where clarity and impact are priorities over delicate detail.
The tone is assertive and contemporary, with a friendly, approachable edge from the rounded geometry. Its mass and simplicity give it a no-nonsense, attention-grabbing voice that feels practical rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, modern sans voice with simple geometry and consistent weight, prioritizing immediacy and legibility at larger sizes. Its compact forms and dense color suggest a focus on bold communication and clear typographic hierarchy.
The numerals are bold and highly legible, matching the same geometric logic as the letters. In text settings the spacing and color create a strong, poster-like presence, making the font feel best when used with room to breathe.
