A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and a sturdy, even color. Curves are built from smooth, near-circular bowls and rounded corners, while straight strokes stay blunt and stable, creating a calm, uniform rhythm. Apertures are generally open and counters are generous for the weight, keeping letters readable in dense settings. Uppercase forms feel wide and architectural; lowercase follows a simple, contemporary model with single-storey shapes and minimal detailing.
Best suited for attention-forward typography such as headlines, posters, branding systems, and packaging, where its wide stance and strong weight can carry a message quickly. It also works well for signage and UI hero text where clear shapes and open counters help maintain legibility at a glance.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, combining assertive presence with a friendly softness from the rounded geometry. It reads as straightforward and contemporary, with a slight tech/brand-forward character rather than editorial refinement.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary, high-impact sans that remains friendly and legible, emphasizing geometric construction, strong presence, and simple, consistent forms for brand and display use.
The figures are similarly robust and rounded, matching the letterforms closely and supporting a consistent texture in mixed alphanumerics. The design favors simple silhouettes and stable terminals, which helps maintain clarity when set large and bold in short phrases.
