A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and smooth, circular bowls. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a sturdy, even color in text. Terminals are clean and largely squared off, while curves stay generous and round, creating a clear contrast between straight stems and circular counters. The lowercase features simple, workmanlike forms (single-storey a and g) and short, controlled extenders, giving paragraphs a compact, efficient rhythm at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where a strong, modern presence is needed. It also works well for signage and packaging that benefits from quick recognition at a distance. For longer text, it’s most comfortable at larger sizes where its dense weight reads as intentional and punchy.
The overall tone is contemporary and direct, prioritizing clarity and impact over delicacy. Its rounded geometry softens the heft, reading as confident and approachable rather than aggressive. The style feels practical and no-nonsense, with a slightly friendly, contemporary-tech flavor.
The design appears intended as a high-impact geometric sans for contemporary communication, combining robust strokes with rounded construction to stay readable while delivering emphasis. It aims to be versatile for display-centric applications, offering a straightforward, dependable voice with modern polish.
Counters are relatively open for the weight, helping maintain legibility, while joins and apertures stay fairly tight, keeping silhouettes strong. Numerals are bold and prominent with simple, geometric construction suitable for display. Overall spacing appears balanced for headline use, producing a dense, emphatic texture in longer lines.
