A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and rounded, open counters. Strokes are monolinear with smooth curve-to-stem transitions and generally squared terminals, creating a sturdy, engineered silhouette. Letters lean on circular and elliptical construction (notably in O/C/G and the bowls of B/P/R), while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are crisp and emphatic. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, round dots on i/j, and a robust, compact rhythm that stays clear even at display sizes.
Best suited for large-scale typography where mass and clarity are assets—brand wordmarks, product and packaging fronts, event posters, and retail or wayfinding signage. It can also work for short UI labels or hero text in digital layouts when a strong, contemporary voice is needed.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, balancing a contemporary, tech-forward feel with friendly rounded geometry. It reads as energetic and assertive rather than formal, with a clear “headline” presence that stays playful instead of severe.
This design appears intended as a modern, geometric display sans that maximizes impact through large, rounded forms and simplified construction. The emphasis is on high visibility and a confident, friendly presence across branding and headline-driven applications.
Numerals are wide and weighty with simple, high-impact shapes; the 1 has an angled top and the 2/3 use smooth, continuous curves. The Q includes a short diagonal tail, and the S is broad with generous curvature, helping maintain legibility in dense, dark settings. Spacing in the samples suggests it’s designed to hold together well in big, tight headlines without losing character separation.
