A heavy, geometric sans with compact proportions and broad, even strokes. Curves are built from near-circular bowls and smooth arcs, while terminals are clean and mostly flat, producing a solid, blocky silhouette. Counters stay open despite the weight, and the lowercase shows a single-storey a and g with simple, rounded construction. The overall rhythm is dense and steady, with minimal stroke modulation and a straightforward, contemporary finish.
Best suited for display settings where strong presence is needed—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and short UI callouts. It can work for brief paragraphs at larger sizes, but its dense weight is most effective when used for emphasis and concise copy.
The tone is bold and direct, with a friendly softness coming from its rounded geometry. It reads as energetic and attention-grabbing rather than formal, making it feel contemporary and approachable. The weight and compactness give it a confident, assertive voice suited to prominent messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum legibility and impact through simple geometric shapes and consistent stroke weight. It prioritizes clarity and a modern, approachable character, aiming for a versatile display voice that remains clean and controlled.
The numerals are wide and sturdy with large interior shapes, matching the letters’ rounded logic. In text, the strong color and tight-looking forms create high visual impact, so spacing and line breaks play a noticeable role in maintaining clarity at smaller sizes.
