A heavy, compact sans with subtly rounded corners and a gently modulated stroke, giving the forms a carved, slightly tapered feel rather than purely monoline geometry. Curves are full and stable (notably in C, G, O, S), while verticals and horizontals read as firm and blocky. Terminals tend to be blunt with soft edges; apertures are moderately open, and counters remain clear despite the dense weight. The lowercase shows simple, sturdy construction with a two-storey “a,” single-storey “g,” and broad, confident bowls; figures are similarly robust with wide, readable shapes.
Best suited for headlines and short-to-medium display copy where its mass and clarity can lead the page. It works well for branding, packaging, and signage that needs strong presence at a distance, and can also serve for emphasis in editorial layouts when used sparingly.
The overall tone is bold and straightforward, projecting authority without feeling harsh. Softened corners and generous curves add an approachable, contemporary warmth, balancing the weight with a friendly, display-oriented personality.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with clean, contemporary shapes, while using softened geometry and mild stroke shaping to stay legible and personable. Its letterforms prioritize bold recognition and steady texture in all-caps and mixed-case settings.
The design maintains a strong, even rhythm in text, with consistent stem strength and reliable internal space that helps prevent clogging at large sizes. The uppercase has a slightly condensed, sign-like solidity, while the lowercase keeps legibility through open joins and simplified details.
