A heavy, geometric sans with round counters and broadly even stroke weight. Forms are compact and sturdy, with a large x-height feel and short extenders that keep words dense on the line. Curves are smooth and circular (notably in C, O, Q, and the bowls of b/p), while joins and terminals stay mostly blunt and clean. The overall rhythm is tight and consistent, producing strong silhouettes and clear, simplified letter shapes.
Best suited for display typography where impact and immediacy matter—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and short UI or signage labels. Its compact, sturdy shapes maintain clarity in large, high-contrast settings and hold up well in bold typographic layouts.
The tone is bold and matter-of-fact, with a friendly, contemporary edge driven by rounded geometry and generous counters. It reads as assertive and attention-grabbing without feeling sharp or aggressive, making it well-suited to upbeat, modern branding and headline-forward design.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with minimal stylistic distraction, combining geometric roundness with dense, stable proportions. The intent appears to be a versatile, modern workhorse for bold messaging—clear letterforms, consistent texture, and strong readability in short-to-medium text blocks.
The numerals follow the same solid, rounded construction as the letters, with ample interior space that helps them remain distinct at display sizes. The lowercase maintains simple, single-storey forms and a uniform visual color, reinforcing a utilitarian, no-nonsense look.
