A compact geometric sans with heavy, uniform strokes and strongly simplified construction. Curves are built from near-circular bowls and broad arcs, while straight strokes terminate in clean, squared ends with minimal modulation. The uppercase shows wide, steady stems and open, geometric counters; the lowercase keeps a sturdy, compact footprint with rounded shoulders and a single-storey “a.” Figures are bold and straightforward, with rounded forms (0, 8, 9) and simple angled joins (4, 7) that maintain an even rhythm across the set.
Well-suited to bold headlines, posters, and identity work where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It can also work for packaging and wayfinding/signage applications that benefit from simple, geometric letterforms and strong presence at a distance.
The overall tone is confident and utilitarian, pairing a friendly roundness with a tough, engineered presence. It feels contemporary and sporty, with a hint of mid-century signage and institutional graphics.
Likely intended as a punchy display sans that maximizes impact in limited horizontal space. The geometric construction and simplified forms suggest a focus on clarity, consistency, and a sturdy graphic silhouette across letters and numbers.
The design reads best at display sizes, where the large internal counters and simplified details stay clear and the tight proportions feel intentional. In running text, the dense color and compact spacing suggest using generous leading or slightly increased tracking for comfort.
