A broad, geometric sans with heavy, even strokes and spacious letterforms. Curves are smooth and near-circular, while straight strokes end in crisp, square terminals, creating a clean, constructed look. Counters are large and open, and apertures in letters like C, S, and e stay generous at display sizes. The lowercase shows simple, sturdy shapes with a double-storey g and a compact, functional feel; the numerals follow the same wide, solid geometry with clear silhouettes.
Well-suited to headlines and display typography where width and weight can create strong impact. Its clear geometry and open counters make it a good fit for branding systems, packaging, and signage that need a modern, confident voice.
The overall tone is contemporary and assertive, with a straightforward industrial clarity. Its wide stance and simplified geometry give it a friendly, accessible presence while still reading as efficient and modern.
Likely designed as a contemporary, geometric workhorse for bold display use—prioritizing strong silhouettes, wide rhythm, and clean, no-nonsense forms that reproduce reliably across print and screen contexts.
Spacing appears intentionally roomy, reinforcing the wide rhythm and improving legibility in large settings. Round characters (O, Q, 0, 8, 9) feel especially consistent, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) maintain stable weight without looking fragile.
