A heavy, geometric sans with broad, rounded curves and mostly monolinear strokes. Counters are relatively tight, giving the letters a compact, dense color, while the round letters (O/C/G/Q) feel close to circular and the straight-sided forms (E/F/H/I/L) are crisp and squared. Terminals are predominantly blunt, with only slight softening at corners; joins are sturdy and simple. The lowercase has single-storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and a sturdy, upright t, reinforcing a clean, contemporary construction. Numerals are substantial and evenly proportioned, designed to hold their shape at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and prominent UI or product labeling where a compact, high-impact sans is needed. It also works well for logos, signage, and packaging that benefits from sturdy geometry and quick recognition at a glance.
The overall tone is assertive and pragmatic, with a friendly geometric warmth from the rounded bowls. It reads as contemporary and no-nonsense, suited to bold statements rather than delicate nuance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum clarity and presence with minimal stylistic distraction—using geometric construction, compact counters, and blunt terminals to create a modern, dependable display voice.
At larger sizes the tight apertures and dense spacing create a strong, poster-like texture; the design prioritizes solidity and impact over airy openness. The forms stay consistent across rounds and straights, producing a uniform, reliable rhythm in all-caps and mixed-case settings.
