A compact, heavy sans with rounded bowls and broadly geometric construction. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are mostly flat, producing a firm, poster-ready silhouette. Counters are relatively tight (notably in a/e/o), and spacing feels efficient, helping text blocks hold together with strong density. Uppercase forms read as straightforward and industrial; lowercase maintains a tall x-height with simple, workmanlike shapes, including a single-storey g and a compact, curved-shoulder r.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and display typography where strong presence and compact rhythm are desired. It also works well for branding, signage, and short UI labels that need high impact and straightforward readability at a glance.
The overall tone is modern and no-nonsense, emphasizing clarity and punch over delicacy. Its dense color and geometric curves give it a confident, utilitarian voice that feels at home in contemporary branding and information-forward layouts.
Designed to deliver a strong, compact sans voice with geometric consistency and minimal fuss, prioritizing visual punch and clear lettershapes for prominent, contemporary typography.
Round letters (C/G/O/Q) show smooth, near-circular curves, while diagonals (A/K/V/W/X/Y) are crisp and stable, reinforcing a solid, engineered feel. Numerals follow the same sturdy geometry, with clear, readable forms suited to prominent settings.
