A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and strongly rounded bowls. Strokes are uniform and dense, with smooth curve-to-stem joins and minimal modulation, producing a clean, contemporary texture. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, and terminals are mostly flat and blunt, with a few slightly softened joins that keep forms from feeling brittle. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g,” rounded “e” with a compact aperture, and a short-shouldered “r,” all contributing to a solid, economical rhythm. Numerals are wide and sturdy, with ample curves in 0/6/8/9 and straightforward construction in 1/4/7.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, and display typography where strong presence and quick recognition are needed. It can also work for branding, logos, and signage that benefit from a modern, sturdy voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is assertive and upbeat, reading as straightforward and approachable rather than formal. Its mass and rounded geometry communicate strength and clarity with a friendly, contemporary edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and legibility through simple geometric construction, wide stance, and rounded forms, creating a contemporary display sans that feels strong yet approachable.
At larger sizes the letterforms feel punchy and impactful, while the dense counters and short apertures suggest extra care with spacing and size is helpful for small text. The overall silhouette stays consistent across the set, with clear, simple shapes and a stable baseline presence.
