A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and smooth, circular curves paired with straight-sided strokes. The design maintains near-monoline construction with crisp terminals and minimal modulation, giving letters a dense, poster-ready presence. Counters are generous for the weight, and round forms (C, O, G, Q) read as true geometric shapes, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are sturdy and angular. Overall spacing is even and stable, producing a strong, consistent texture in words and lines of text.
Well suited to headlines, display copy, and short-to-medium blocks where strong emphasis and high visibility are needed. It works especially well in branding systems, packaging, and signage where a clean geometric voice and durable letterforms help maintain clarity at a distance or in busy layouts.
The tone is contemporary and confident, with a straightforward, no-nonsense clarity. Its rounded geometry adds a friendly, approachable feel, while the substantial weight projects solidity and emphasis suitable for attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended as a contemporary geometric workhorse for display settings: bold enough to command attention, clean enough to stay versatile, and consistent enough to perform across branding and editorial headline applications.
At larger sizes the shapes feel particularly crisp and architectural, and the numerals match the same bold, geometric logic, keeping mixed alphanumeric settings visually unified. The lowercase maintains a simple, sturdy rhythm that stays legible despite the heavy stroke weight.
