A heavy, geometric sans with broad, even strokes and rounded bowls that stay close to circular. The forms favor simple construction and sturdy proportions, with clean terminals and minimal shaping at joins. Counters are generally open and legible, while curves (C, G, O, S) read smooth and consistent. Lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a compact, rounded e, and a short-armed r, creating an efficient texture that holds together well at display sizes. Numerals are sturdy and high-impact, with clear differentiation and generous interior space.
Well-suited for headlines, branding, packaging, and signage where strong presence and quick readability are needed. It also works for short UI labels and marketing copy when a compact, high-contrast-in-mass texture is desirable, though its weight is most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is contemporary and assertive, with a friendly neutrality that feels practical rather than decorative. Its weight and simplified geometry give it a confident, poster-ready presence while keeping an approachable, everyday voice.
The design appears intended as a robust, versatile geometric sans that delivers high impact with minimal stylistic distraction. It prioritizes clean construction, consistent curves, and dependable legibility for contemporary display and brand-forward typography.
Spacing appears balanced for dense setting, producing a dark, cohesive color in paragraphs and headlines. The design’s consistency across rounds and straights supports a stable rhythm, and the simplified lowercase shapes emphasize clarity over calligraphic nuance.
