A heavy, geometric sans with smooth round bowls and a clean, even stroke presence. Curves are built from near-circular forms (notably in C, G, O, Q, and the numerals), paired with straight, squared terminals that keep edges crisp. Proportions feel expansive with generous widths and sturdy verticals; apertures are moderately open and counters remain clear despite the weight. The lowercase uses simple, single-story shapes for a and g, with short ascenders/descenders and a compact overall rhythm that reads very solid in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where strong presence and quick legibility are priorities. It also works well for packaging and signage, especially when a clean, geometric voice is desired.
The tone is modern and straightforward, projecting confidence and clarity without feeling cold. Rounded forms add approachability, while the strong weight and broad stance give it an assertive, headline-forward personality.
The design appears intended as a robust geometric workhorse: simple, highly legible shapes with contemporary proportions that hold up in large sizes and create an even, confident typographic color.
Diagonal letters (K, V, W, X, Y) are sharply constructed and balance well against the round glyphs, creating a consistent, contemporary texture. Numerals are sturdy and highly legible, with simple silhouettes suited to quick recognition at display sizes.
