A heavy, geometric sans with compact proportions and large counters that keep the shapes open despite the strong stroke weight. Curves are broadly rounded and constructed from near-circular forms, while joins and terminals read clean and blunt, giving the letters a firm, uniform texture. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g”, a sturdy “t” with a broad crossbar, and an overall rhythm that feels tightly set with minimal stroke modulation.
Best suited to headlines, brand marks, and short, high-impact messaging where weight and clarity are priorities. It can perform well in posters, packaging, and signage, especially at medium to large sizes where its rounded geometry and open counters remain clear.
The tone is assertive and contemporary, with a friendly, no-nonsense clarity. Its dense color and rounded geometry feel approachable rather than severe, making it read as energetic and dependable in display settings.
The design appears intended to provide a modern, highly legible sans with strong presence and a geometric, rounded construction. It aims for consistent, punchy color on the page while preserving readability through open interior spaces and simple, recognizable forms.
Figures are wide and strongly built, matching the letterforms’ compact, high-impact presence. Diagonals (like V/W/X and the K) are thick and stable, helping maintain even visual weight across the alphabet.
