A sturdy sans with heavy, even strokes and clean terminals. The shapes lean toward geometric construction, with broad, round bowls (C, O, G) and a relatively compact interior space that keeps the silhouette dense at display sizes. Curves are smooth and consistent, while joins and diagonals (K, V, W, Y) feel crisp and stable. The lowercase is straightforward and readable, with simple one-storey forms and minimal flourish; overall spacing reads solid and slightly tight for an assertive, blocky texture in text.
Works best where strong emphasis and quick recognition are needed: headlines, posters, packaging, brand marks, and short UI labels or navigation. In longer passages it can still read clearly, but its dense texture is most effective in display and short-form copy.
The tone is direct and contemporary, prioritizing clarity and impact over elegance. Its dense rhythm and broad curves give it a friendly but no-nonsense voice that suits practical communication and bold messaging.
The design appears intended as a dependable, high-impact sans for contemporary layouts—balancing geometric roundness with sturdy proportions to deliver confident readability in prominent settings.
Capitals appear designed for strong headline presence, with large counters that remain clear even at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same robust, rounded logic, maintaining consistent weight and a cohesive color across mixed alphanumeric settings.
