A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and a strong, even color on the page. Curves are smooth and fairly circular (notably in C, O, and the bowls of B/P/R), while terminals are clean and straight, producing crisp joins and a tidy silhouette. The lowercase is compact and sturdy with round i-dots, a simple single-storey a, and a single-storey g with a prominent ear, giving the set a contemporary, constructed feel. Numerals are robust and open, with clear counters and a straightforward, signage-like rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short blocks of text where a strong presence is desired. The broad forms and clear numerals also make it a good fit for branding, packaging, and straightforward signage or wayfinding applications.
The tone is direct and confident, with a friendly neutrality that reads as contemporary and practical rather than expressive or ornamental. Its weight and breadth make it feel assertive and attention-getting, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable.
The design appears intended as a modern, no-nonsense workhorse for display typography: geometric, sturdy shapes that deliver strong impact while staying readable and neutral enough for general-purpose graphic design.
Counters remain generous for such a heavy style, helping maintain clarity at larger display sizes. The overall spacing and wide set emphasize stability and legibility, and the uniform stroke behavior keeps paragraphs looking consistent and solid.
