A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and a compact, even rhythm. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and curves are built from smooth, near-circular forms, producing full bowls in C/O/Q and rounded shoulders in m/n. Terminals are mostly straight and squared, with crisp joins and simplified diagonals that keep shapes sturdy at large sizes. The lowercase shows a large x-height and generous counters, while apertures stay relatively tight, giving the overall texture a solid, high-ink presence.
Best suited to display contexts where impact and clarity are priorities, such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and large-format signage. It can also work for short, high-emphasis UI labels or packaging callouts, especially where a sturdy, modern sans tone is desired.
The font reads as contemporary and self-assured, with a friendly roundedness that softens its strong weight. Its wide stance and blunt finishing give it an assertive, headline-forward voice that feels straightforward rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, contemporary sans voice with geometric simplicity and reliable legibility at larger sizes. It emphasizes strong silhouette, consistent stroke logic, and a friendly, rounded construction to balance weight with approachability.
Round letters maintain consistent curvature and weight, creating a cohesive, geometric color across lines of text. In the sample, the dense strokes and wide set create strong emphasis and visibility, while spacing remains orderly and stable in multi-line settings.
