A heavy, expansive sans with broadly proportioned letters and generous internal space. Curves are smooth and near-geometric, while terminals are clean and mostly blunt, creating a crisp silhouette with minimal modulation. Counters stay open even in dense shapes like B, 8, and g, and the overall rhythm is steady, with even stroke weight and roomy sidebearings that keep large text from feeling cramped. Numerals are similarly wide and sturdy, with clear, simple construction.
Best suited to headlines, big display typography, posters, and bold brand systems where width and weight can create strong visual hierarchy. It also works well for signage and short UI or product titles when you want a clear, approachable sans with substantial presence.
The tone is modern and assertive, with a friendly accessibility that comes from rounded forms and open counters. Its wide stance reads confident and stable, lending a contemporary, slightly tech-forward voice without feeling cold or overly mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a clean, geometric voice—prioritizing legibility through open counters and uncomplicated letterforms while using wide proportions to project confidence and modernity.
Several glyphs emphasize clarity through simplified geometry: circular forms like O/Q are broad and smooth, and diagonals in V/W/X are straight and strong. The lowercase set maintains a straightforward, highly legible structure, supporting an even texture in text and prominent presence in headlines.
