A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and simplified construction. Strokes are monolinear with soft, rounded corners that keep the dense weight from feeling harsh. Counters are generous and mostly circular/oval, while apertures tend to be relatively tight, giving the face a compact, sturdy rhythm. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, short ascenders/descenders, and a generally horizontal, stable posture; numerals are robust and wide with smooth curves and minimal detailing.
Best suited to display roles where weight and width can be used for emphasis—headlines, posters, branding systems, and packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when set with ample size and spacing to preserve counter clarity.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, with a clean, engineered feel. Its rounded geometry adds approachability, while the dense letterforms project strength and impact, making it read as energetic and slightly sporty.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a clean, geometric voice—combining sturdy, block-like silhouettes with softened edges for a more friendly, contemporary finish.
At larger sizes the rounded joins and large bowls read clearly, but the tighter apertures and heavy terminals can cause some interior spaces to close up in smaller settings. The wide footprint and strong verticals create a punchy texture in headlines and short lines.
