A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and a monoline feel. Letterforms are built from generous circular and rectangular geometry, with rounded bowls, smooth curves, and largely squared terminals. Counters are open and simple, and the overall rhythm is steady and even, creating a solid block of text at display sizes. The lowercase keeps single-storey forms where expected (notably the a and g), reinforcing a streamlined, contemporary texture.
Best suited for headlines, logos, brand marks, packaging, and large-format signage where its broad proportions and strong silhouettes can carry impact. It can also work for short UI labels or navigational text when set with ample spacing, but it is most effective in display-focused typography.
The tone is direct and contemporary, with an approachable warmth from the rounded forms and ample counters. Its wide stance and sturdy weight give it an assertive, poster-ready presence that still reads as friendly rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary geometric voice that reads quickly and projects strength, while keeping a soft, approachable character through rounded construction and straightforward, open interiors.
Diagonal strokes in letters like K, V, W, X, and Y are clean and strongly angled, while round characters like O, C, and G stay smooth and generously proportioned. Numerals match the same geometric logic and weight, producing a cohesive, branded feel across alphanumerics.
