A heavy, geometric sans with round bowls, smooth curves, and mostly straight, unmodulated strokes. Proportions are broad and stable, with generous counters and open apertures that keep the letterforms clear at display sizes. Terminals are clean and largely squared off, while circular shapes (O, C, Q, 0) read as near-elliptical and consistent across the set. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey construction (notably a and g), and the numerals are full, evenly weighted, and designed to match the same solid rhythm.
It performs best in headlines, logos, packaging, and signage where bold, simplified forms are meant to hold attention and reproduce reliably. The consistent geometry and open counters also make it suitable for short UI labels, wayfinding, and other high-impact typographic moments.
The font conveys a contemporary, straightforward tone—confident and pragmatic rather than decorative. Its rounded geometry adds approachability, while the dense weight and broad stance give it a strong, assertive presence.
The design appears intended as a versatile geometric sans focused on clarity and presence. By combining simple constructions with rounded, consistent curves and a firm baseline, it aims to deliver a modern, highly legible voice for contemporary branding and display typography.
Stroke joins and curves are drawn with a crisp, engineered finish, producing a uniform texture in blocks of text. The overall spacing and shapes emphasize legibility and graphic impact, making the forms read cleanly even when set tight and large.
