A compact, heavy sans with rounded geometry and clean, uniform strokes. Curves are built from near-circular bowls with smooth joins, while straight stems and arms stay simple and blocky. Counters are moderately open for the weight, with wide, sturdy verticals and slightly tapered or angled terminals in places, creating a crisp but not sharp edge. The overall rhythm is even and stable, with consistent proportions across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, and branding where strong, clean shapes need to hold up at a glance. It also works effectively for UI labels, navigation, and signage-style applications that benefit from compact, high-contrast-on-page letterforms. For longer passages, it’s best used in larger sizes where its weight and tight forms remain comfortable to read.
The tone is modern and matter-of-fact, projecting confidence and clarity without feeling harsh. Its rounded shapes add a friendly, approachable undercurrent that keeps the boldness from becoming aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, geometric sans voice with maximum impact and minimal fuss. It prioritizes clear silhouettes, consistent construction, and a friendly roundness to support attention-grabbing display use while staying broadly functional.
The lowercase shows a single-storey construction for forms like “a” and “g,” reinforcing a contemporary, geometric voice. Numerals are sturdy and high-impact, with simple, easily scannable silhouettes suited to short, prominent settings.
