A heavy, geometric sans with mostly circular/elliptical bowls and uniform stroke weight. Curves are clean and broadly rounded, while terminals are predominantly flat, giving a crisp, constructed feel. Uppercase forms read wide and stable with generous internal space; lowercase is compact and sturdy with simple, single‑storey shapes (notably a and g). Spacing appears even and practical, supporting dense set text without looking cramped.
Best suited to headlines, display copy, and short blocks of text where strong presence is desired—such as posters, packaging, branding touchpoints, and wayfinding/signage. The sturdy shapes and generous curves also make it effective for UI callouts, labels, and marketing graphics that need immediate legibility at a glance.
The overall tone is confident and straightforward, with a contemporary, no‑nonsense voice. Rounded geometry keeps it approachable, while the strong weight adds emphasis and impact. It feels more functional than expressive, suited to clear messaging where visibility matters.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, geometric workhorse for high-impact typography—prioritizing clarity, consistency, and bold visual authority while staying approachable through rounded forms.
Distinctive details include a single-storey a and g, a simple r with a short shoulder, and rounded numerals that maintain consistent weight and proportion. The cap and lowercase share a cohesive geometric logic, and the ampersand matches the same blunt, constructed styling. At large sizes the letterforms look very solid and graphic, with counters that stay open enough for quick recognition.
