A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and low-contrast strokes. Curves are built from near-circular bowls with smooth joins, while terminals are predominantly flat and square, giving the forms a sturdy, block-like silhouette. The uppercase sits tall and stable with generous width, and the lowercase maintains clear, open counters and straightforward construction. Numerals are similarly robust, with simplified shapes and consistent stroke weight that favors clarity at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where bold, wide letterforms can deliver immediate presence—such as branding, posters, packaging, and prominent UI or signage. It can also work for short bursts of text (taglines, callouts) where strong emphasis and quick legibility are needed.
The overall tone is modern and confident, with a friendly warmth coming from the rounded bowls and open apertures. Its weight and breadth add authority and impact, while the clean, no-nonsense detailing keeps it contemporary rather than decorative.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, high-impact sans that prioritizes solidity and legibility through wide proportions, simple geometry, and open interior spaces. It aims to feel approachable yet assertive, making it effective for modern identity and display typography.
Spacing reads even and deliberate in the sample text, producing a steady rhythm and strong word shapes. The design leans toward geometric regularity, balancing round letters (like O/C) against straighter, angular forms (like E/F/T) for a crisp, high-impact texture.
