A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded curves paired with straight, decisive terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and counters are generous, keeping forms open despite the weight. The lowercase is straightforward and highly regular, with circular bowls (o, e) and simplified construction across the set, producing an even, stable rhythm in text. Numerals follow the same stout geometry, reading clearly with large internal spaces and flat, confident horizontals.
Best suited to display applications where a strong, clean voice is needed—headlines, branding systems, signage, and packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or callouts when a sturdy, high-impact sans is desired, though the heavy texture will dominate longer passages.
The overall tone is modern and assured, with a friendly clarity that feels contemporary rather than quirky. Its weight and width give it a strong presence, while the rounded geometry softens the voice and keeps it approachable.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, geometric workhorse with emphasis on bold presence and clear, simple letterforms. Its consistent construction and open counters suggest a focus on readability at larger sizes and on creating a dependable, brand-friendly typographic voice.
In the sample text, the dense color and broad letterforms create a prominent typographic texture; spacing appears comfortable, supporting legibility while maintaining a solid, headline-forward impact.
