A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and rounded bowls that keep the texture smooth despite the strong weight. Strokes are largely uniform, with clean terminals and minimal modulation, producing a sturdy, poster-ready color on the page. Curves (C, G, O, Q) lean toward circular construction, while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X are crisp and straight, creating a clear geometric rhythm. Counters are relatively tight at this weight, and the lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms (notably a and g) with compact apertures that emphasize solidity over delicacy.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and brand marks where strong presence and quick readability are priorities. It performs well in posters, retail and wayfinding signage, packaging, and bold UI moments such as banners, hero sections, and calls to action.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat: bold enough to feel authoritative, yet rounded enough to read as approachable. Its geometry and mass suggest a contemporary, no-nonsense voice that works well for energetic, straightforward messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a clean, modern construction—pairing geometric roundness with sturdy proportions to stay legible and consistent across prominent display applications.
The numerals are hefty and highly legible with simple silhouettes, matching the letterforms’ geometric logic. In the sample text, the dense stroke weight creates a strong typographic block, so generous spacing and larger sizes help maintain clarity in longer lines.
