A heavy, geometric sans with near-uniform stroke thickness and crisp terminals. The letterforms lean on circular and elliptical construction, with wide bowls, open counters, and steady curves that stay smooth even at large sizes. Proportions are broadly even with a moderate x-height and clear distinction between uppercase and lowercase; joins and diagonals feel engineered and clean rather than calligraphic. Numerals follow the same sturdy, rounded construction, reading as compact and highly legible.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where a solid geometric presence is needed. It also works effectively for packaging and signage thanks to its open forms, simple construction, and strong stroke presence at both large and moderately small display sizes.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, combining a friendly roundness with a strong, assertive weight. It feels upbeat and straightforward, giving text a bold, confident voice without becoming quirky or decorative.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern geometric look with maximum clarity and impact, prioritizing sturdy silhouettes, clean curves, and dependable readability in prominent typographic roles.
The design maintains consistent rhythm across the alphabet, with especially robust rounds (O/C/G) and stable, blocky verticals that help it hold up in headline settings. Spacing appears comfortable in the sample text, supporting dense lines while keeping shapes distinct.
