A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and sturdy, low-contrast strokes. Curves are built from clean circular/elliptical forms, while joins and terminals stay crisp and straightforward, giving the letters a compact, block-like presence. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are modest, which increases color density in text. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and simple, single-storey constructions, with a uniform rhythm and minimal calligraphic influence. Numerals follow the same robust, rounded geometry with clear, stable silhouettes at display sizes.
Best suited for bold headlines, posters, and short-form messaging where impact and quick recognition matter. It also fits branding and packaging that needs a modern, dependable voice, and it can work for UI labels or navigation when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is direct and no-nonsense, with a friendly roundness that keeps it approachable. Its strong, even weight reads as confident and contemporary, leaning more toward practical clarity than elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, contemporary sans voice built from simple geometric primitives, prioritizing high visibility and an even, consistent texture in display typography.
At larger sizes the shapes feel solid and highly legible; in dense settings the tight counters and compact openings can make the texture feel dark, so a bit of extra tracking can help when used in longer lines.
