A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and large, open counters. Curves are smoothly rounded while terminals and joins stay clean and mostly squared, producing a sturdy, contemporary texture. The lowercase shows a notably tall x-height with short ascenders/descenders, helping forms like a, e, and s read as compact and dense. Numerals are solid and prominent, matching the strong stroke weight and overall rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where strong presence and quick legibility matter—headlines, posters, packaging, and prominent UI or wayfinding. It can work for short paragraphs or large subheads, but its dense weight and wide stance are most effective when used with generous spacing and at larger sizes.
The tone is bold and assertive without feeling aggressive, thanks to its rounded construction and clear apertures. It reads as modern and practical, with a friendly, straightforward voice suited to attention-getting headlines and branding.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with clean, geometric forms and a high x-height for immediate readability. The overall construction prioritizes bold clarity and a contemporary, approachable feel.
The typeface maintains a consistent, even color across lines of text, and the wide set gives words a strong horizontal presence. Round letters (O/C/G) feel nearly circular, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are sturdy and simplified for clarity at large sizes.
