A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and simple, unmodulated strokes. Curves are built from near-circular bowls with smooth joins, while terminals are mostly flat and squared, giving a solid, block-like presence. Counters are moderately open for the weight, and the overall rhythm is even and stable, with straightforward construction across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display roles where weight and width can do the work: headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and signage. It also performs well for short UI labels or navigation where a strong, clear sans is needed, though its heaviness favors larger sizes over long-form reading.
The tone is contemporary and assertive, with a clear, no-nonsense voice that still reads approachable due to its rounded forms. It feels practical and confident rather than expressive or decorative, projecting clarity and strength in short messages and headings.
Designed to provide a strong, modern sans voice built on geometric fundamentals, prioritizing immediate legibility and visual impact. The consistent stroke behavior and uncomplicated letterforms suggest an intention to be versatile for contemporary communication and bold typographic statements.
Uppercase forms lean toward a geometric, sign-like clarity, while lowercase shapes stay simple and robust with minimal detailing. Numerals match the same sturdy construction and round/straight balance, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive.
