A heavy, geometric sans with monoline strokes and broad proportions. Curves are built from clean circular/elliptical forms, giving letters like O/C/G a smooth, even rhythm, while terminals are mostly straight-cut and crisp. Counters are generous for the weight, and apertures stay relatively open in forms like e, c, and s, helping keep the texture from closing up. The uppercase reads stable and architectural; the lowercase is similarly sturdy with simple, un-fussy constructions and a clear, consistent baseline and cap alignment. Numerals follow the same rounded, uniform-stroke logic with strong, legible silhouettes.
Works best where bold, readable typography is needed—headlines, logotypes, brand systems, posters, packaging, and large UI or app titles. The open counters and geometric consistency also suit short blocks of supporting text, especially in marketing or product messaging at larger sizes.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, combining a utilitarian clarity with soft geometric friendliness. Its weight and width project confidence and presence without feeling aggressive, making it feel at home in modern product and brand contexts.
The design appears intended as a robust, contemporary geometric sans that delivers strong visual impact while maintaining clear letterforms. It balances a neutral, functional foundation with rounded shapes that add warmth and accessibility for modern communication.
Spacing appears comfortable at display sizes, producing an even color across words and lines. The design favors simplified joins and straightforward diagonals (notably in K, V, W, X), which reinforces a clean, engineered look.
