A heavy, monoline sans with strongly geometric construction and rounded bowls. Curves are smooth and circular, while terminals are predominantly flat, producing a clean, cut-off finish. Counters are relatively tight and apertures lean toward closed, giving the face a compact, high-impact color. Proportions are balanced with steady verticals and simple, sturdy diagonals; lowercase forms read utilitarian and consistent, with a single-storey “a” and a compact “e.” Numerals follow the same robust, rounded logic and maintain even texture alongside letters.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where strong presence and quick readability are needed. It can work well for packaging, signage, and UI headings or badges that benefit from a compact, durable lettershape. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable with generous size and spacing to preserve counter clarity.
The overall tone is bold and assertive but not aggressive, combining a friendly roundness with a no-nonsense solidity. It feels contemporary and practical, with a familiar, workhorse voice that emphasizes clarity and impact.
The design appears intended as a robust, broadly usable geometric sans that delivers maximum impact with minimal stylistic distraction. Its consistent construction and compact counters prioritize bold readability and a contemporary, versatile look for display-forward typography.
At text sizes the dense weight and smaller inner counters can make spacing feel tight, while at display sizes the smooth geometry and uniform strokes read especially clean. The design’s simplicity and strong silhouette help it remain legible when reversed out or used over busy backgrounds.
