A heavy, block-forward sans with broad proportions and clear, simplified construction. Strokes are consistently thick, with rounded curves on bowls and terminals that keep the texture smooth despite the weight. Counters are relatively tight, and joins are sturdy, giving letters a dense, stable silhouette. The lowercase features a single-storey “a” and “g,” open, circular forms in “o/e,” and a short, practical descender rhythm; overall spacing and alignment feel regimented and grid-friendly.
Best suited to applications that need maximum punch and immediate legibility, such as posters, big headings, wayfinding, labels, and packaging. It also works well for UI badges, price tags, and other short, high-contrast text elements where a firm, uniform typographic color is desirable.
The tone is direct and workmanlike, with an industrial steadiness that reads as practical and confident. Its rounded geometry softens the heft, adding an approachable, slightly playful edge without losing a functional, no-nonsense character.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, uniform typographic voice that holds up in tight layouts and high-impact settings. It emphasizes straightforward geometry, sturdy shapes, and consistent rhythm to keep reading predictable and visually assertive.
The extreme weight produces strong word shapes and high impact at display sizes, while the compact counters and dense color can feel forceful in long passages. Numerals are bold and headline-ready, with simple forms and minimal detailing that prioritize clarity over finesse.
