A heavy sans with broad proportions and smooth, geometric curves. Strokes are monolinear and solid, with rounded bowls and open apertures that keep counters clear at display sizes. Uppercase forms feel stable and blocky, while lowercase maintains straightforward construction with compact joins and simple terminals. Numerals are robust and evenly colored, with clear differentiation and consistent weight across curves and straights.
This style performs best in short-to-medium text at larger sizes, such as headlines, campaign graphics, posters, and bold UI or wayfinding where immediate readability matters. It can also support logo wordmarks and packaging that benefit from a strong, modern sans presence.
The overall tone is confident and contemporary, with a friendly clarity that avoids sharpness or fuss. Its sturdy shapes and open interiors give it an approachable, no-nonsense voice suited to prominent messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, highly legible sans voice with geometric simplicity and a strong, even texture. It prioritizes clarity and presence over delicate detail, making it well suited to contemporary display typography.
Spacing and rhythm read steady and even, producing a strong typographic “color” in paragraphs. The design leans toward geometric construction, with circular forms in C/O/Q and broad horizontal emphasis in letters like E and F.
