A very heavy, geometric sans with broad, rounded curves and firm, straight terminals. Letterforms are compact and tightly constructed, with small counters that emphasize density at text sizes. Curved characters (C, G, O, S) are smooth and near-circular, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) feel crisp and stable rather than sharp. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with a single-storey a and g, a compact e, and a short-armed r that keeps words visually even.
Best suited to headlines and display typography where weight and presence are needed—posters, signage, packaging, and bold brand wordmarks. It can also work for short UI labels or callouts when high emphasis is required, though the compact counters suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is bold and direct, with a friendly softness from the rounded geometry. It reads as modern and practical—more about clarity and punch than elegance—making it feel assertive without becoming aggressive.
This design appears intended as a high-impact, no-nonsense geometric sans that stays approachable through rounded forms. The consistent, compact construction suggests an emphasis on strong silhouette recognition and reliable readability in attention-driven contexts.
Spacing in the samples appears generous enough to keep the heavy strokes from clogging, while the dense counters still create a strong, poster-like color on the page. Figures share the same stout construction, supporting prominent, attention-grabbing numerals.
