A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and strongly rounded bowls. Strokes are uniform and sturdy with clean terminals, producing a smooth, contemporary texture at display sizes. Curves are built from near-circular forms (notably in O/C/G and the lowercase o/c/e), while diagonals in A/V/W/X keep a crisp, stable rhythm. Numerals are bold and open, with a clear, uncomplicated construction suited to large-scale reading.
Best suited for headlines, large UI labels, posters, and branding where a strong, legible presence is needed. It can work well on packaging and signage thanks to its open counters and straightforward letterforms, especially when set with generous spacing to preserve clarity at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is bold and straightforward, projecting confidence and clarity without feeling sharp or aggressive. Its rounded geometry adds a friendly, approachable character, making it feel contemporary and accessible. In text settings it reads as energetic and attention-grabbing, with a strong, modern voice.
The font appears intended as a bold, geometric workhorse for modern display typography—optimized to deliver maximum impact with clean, rounded shapes and a stable, consistent rhythm across glyphs.
The design maintains consistent weight and curvature across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive, poster-ready silhouette. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms where applicable, reinforcing the geometric, no-nonsense feel.
