A heavy, geometric sans with broad, rounded curves and straight-sided construction. Counters are generous and open, with smooth circular bowls in letters like C, O, and Q, and simple, sturdy joins throughout. Terminals are mostly squared and clean, producing a compact, blocky rhythm that stays highly legible at large sizes. The numerals are equally robust and straightforward, matching the uppercase weight and overall density.
Best suited to headlines, display settings, and short blocks of copy where strong presence and clarity are priorities. It works well for branding and packaging that want a contemporary, geometric feel, and for signage or wayfinding where bold, uncomplicated letterforms aid quick recognition.
The overall tone is modern and confident, with a straightforward, no-nonsense presence. Its round geometry keeps it approachable, while the dense weight and crisp edges read as strong and direct—well-suited to messaging that needs impact without ornament.
The design appears intended as an impact-oriented geometric sans that stays simple and highly legible. It prioritizes strong silhouettes, open counters, and consistent, sturdy forms to deliver clear communication in display and brand contexts.
The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g) and a compact silhouette that helps maintain uniform texture in lines of text. Descenders are present but not exaggerated, and punctuation such as the apostrophe appears as a simple angled mark consistent with the font’s clean, utilitarian styling.
