A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and large, open counters. Strokes remain essentially monolinear, with rounded curves and squared-off terminals that keep forms crisp rather than soft. The overall rhythm is spacious and stable, with generous bowls on letters like B, P, and R, a near-circular O, and a clear two-storey-style a and single-storey g that maintain a pragmatic, contemporary feel. Numerals are robust and highly legible, matching the letterforms’ large apertures and simple construction.
Best suited to display-forward contexts such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and signage where bold shapes and open counters help maintain clarity at a distance. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation elements when a strong, modern emphasis is desired.
The tone is direct and confident, prioritizing clarity and impact over delicacy. Its geometry and solid weight convey a modern, no-nonsense voice that still reads approachable thanks to round forms and open counters.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact, contemporary sans typography with dependable legibility. Its construction emphasizes simple geometric forms, consistent stroke weight, and wide set proportions to create a clear, assertive voice for modern communication.
At text sizes it maintains a strong “headline” presence, with consistent stroke color and minimal detailing. The cap set feels especially steady and architectural, while the lowercase keeps readability through clear differentiation (notably between i/l and rounded letters) and ample internal space.
