A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and large internal counters. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and curves are built from clean circular and elliptical forms. Terminals are predominantly blunt, with rounded joins that keep the texture smooth despite the weight. Uppercase forms read sturdy and simplified, while the lowercase maintains a single‑storey ‘a’ and ‘g’ with generous bowls; the overall rhythm is dense and even in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding, packaging, and signage where strong presence and quick recognition are priorities. It also works for short UI labels or callouts when you want maximum emphasis, but its dense texture suggests keeping long passages to larger sizes and comfortable line spacing.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a friendly, contemporary feel driven by rounded curves and uncomplicated shapes. It projects confidence and immediacy, making messages feel assertive without becoming sharp or aggressive.
Likely designed to deliver a dependable, high-impact geometric sans that stays legible and cohesive under heavy weight. The simplified construction and rounded geometry aim for versatile, contemporary display use across brand and promotional contexts.
Spacing appears tuned for headline use, creating a tight, solid typographic color at larger sizes. The numerals match the letters in weight and presence, with round forms staying open enough to remain distinct when set big and bold.
