A heavy, geometric sans with broad strokes and clean, unmodulated curves. Round letters (O, C, G) are close to circular with smooth joins, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) keep flat terminals and squared corners where appropriate. Proportions are compact and stable, with a relatively large cap presence and a lowercase that reads clearly at display sizes. The lowercase uses single-storey shapes for a and g, and the overall spacing feels even and pragmatic, favoring solid word shapes over delicate detailing.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and prominent labeling where a strong, clean sans is needed. It also fits brand marks, packaging callouts, and wayfinding/signage thanks to its sturdy forms and high clarity. In interface contexts, it works best for titles, buttons, and short UI strings where weight and impact are desired.
The tone is contemporary and straightforward, projecting clarity and confidence without feeling sharp or aggressive. Its rounded geometry adds a mild friendliness, making it feel approachable for general-purpose branding and UI-forward design.
The design appears intended as a dependable geometric workhorse: minimal, highly legible, and visually consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. It prioritizes bold presence and clean construction for contemporary communication and brand-forward typography.
Figures are robust and simple, matching the lowercase’s geometric construction for a consistent texture in mixed alphanumeric settings. The sample text shows strong legibility and an even rhythm in longer lines, with a distinctly bold headline presence.
