A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and a steady, even color. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and curves are built from smooth circular/elliptical forms. Counters are generally open and generous, terminals are mostly flat, and the overall rhythm feels stable and blocky without becoming rigid. Lowercase forms stay simple and utilitarian, with compact joins and clear spacing that supports dense setting.
It performs best in headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, contemporary voice is needed. The wide, open shapes also suit signage and packaging, especially at medium to large sizes where the rounded geometry and counters remain clear.
The tone is modern and confident, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded bowls and open apertures. It reads as direct and no-nonsense, suited to bold messaging rather than delicate or editorial nuance.
The design appears intended as a bold, contemporary workhorse sans: geometric in construction, highly legible at display sizes, and optimized for punchy, straightforward communication with a friendly edge.
The numerals follow the same geometric logic as the letters, giving figures a strong, signage-like presence. In text, the weight creates a high-impact texture and benefits from comfortable tracking and line spacing to avoid a too-solid paragraph tone.
