A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and generous internal space. Curves are smooth and circular, while terminals are cleanly cut and mostly horizontal/vertical, giving the design a crisp, engineered feel. The lowercase has a large x-height with compact ascenders and descenders, creating a dense, even texture in paragraphs. Counters stay open at display sizes, and the overall rhythm is steady, with straightforward joins and minimal stroke modulation.
Best suited for headlines, branding, and short-form messaging where strong presence and quick recognition are important. It also works well for signage and UI labels at larger sizes thanks to its open counters and steady spacing, and can set readable, compact paragraphs when ample line spacing is available.
The font reads as modern and self-assured, balancing friendliness from its rounded forms with a no-nonsense clarity from its clean cuts. It feels contemporary and practical, suited to communication that needs to be direct and highly legible while still approachable.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, high-impact sans that stays readable under heavy weight and large-scale use. Its geometric construction and large lowercase presence suggest a focus on clarity and consistency across both display typography and practical communication.
Round characters like O/C/G and numerals such as 0/8/9 emphasize near-circular construction, while diagonals in A/V/W/X/Y remain sharp and stable. The figures appear robust and legible, with clear separation between similar shapes (e.g., 0 vs. O) driven by proportion rather than ornament.
