A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded curves paired with firm, straight terminals. The stroke structure stays even and solid, producing dense silhouettes and strong horizontal/vertical rhythm. Counters are relatively open for the weight, with circular forms (O, C, 0) reading as clean, near-geometric shapes, while joins and diagonals keep a crisp, engineered feel. The lowercase shows single-storey forms in key letters (notably a and g), reinforcing a simplified, contemporary construction.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where dense weight and clear geometric forms are an advantage. It also fits signage and packaging that need immediate readability at a distance, and works well for short UI labels or badges when a strong, attention-grabbing typographic voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and assertive but not harsh, balancing weighty presence with approachable, rounded geometry. It feels contemporary and practical, with a straightforward, no-nonsense voice that still reads as friendly and accessible.
The design appears intended as a robust, contemporary workhorse for display use: simple construction, strong geometry, and consistent strokes aimed at clarity and impact across large sizes and bold messaging.
In text settings, the weight creates high impact and strong word shapes, with tight-looking internal spacing driven by the thick strokes. The numerals match the letters in mass and geometry, giving headings and short callouts a consistent, cohesive texture.
