A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and large counters that stay open even at very bold weight. Curves are built from near-circular bowls and smooth, continuous arcs, while terminals are clean and blunt, giving the letters a solid, poster-ready silhouette. The overall rhythm is steady and even, with simple construction, minimal stroke modulation, and generous interior space in forms like O, D, and P. Numerals follow the same sturdy geometry, with rounded forms (0, 6, 8, 9) and straightforward, squared-off joins on angled figures like 4 and 7.
Best suited to display roles where impact is the priority: headlines, posters, large-scale signage, and brand marks. It can also work for packaging and promotional graphics where a strong, approachable geometric voice is desired.
The tone is bold and direct, with a friendly geometric warmth rather than a sharp or technical feel. Its wide stance and rounded construction read as contemporary and energetic, making it feel assertive without becoming aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with clean geometry and open counters, prioritizing clarity and presence in short text. Its simplified, rounded forms suggest a contemporary display sans aimed at bold messaging and recognizable word shapes.
The lowercase maintains clear, single-storey shapes and sturdy stems, which helps legibility in large sizes. Diacritics or extended glyph behavior are not shown; the sample focuses on basic Latin letters and numerals.
