A sturdy sans with geometric, near-monoline construction and broadly rounded bowls. Curves are smooth and open, with large counters and high apertures that keep shapes clear at display sizes. Terminals are mostly squared-off, and joins are compact, giving the overall texture a dense, poster-ready color without feeling condensed. Numerals and capitals read evenly, with simple, workmanlike forms and consistent stroke behavior across the set.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where strong presence is needed, such as posters, signage, packaging, and brand marks. It also works for UI labels or navigation where a firm, highly legible sans is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is modern and confident, projecting clarity and straightforwardness rather than delicacy. Its hefty presence and simple geometry create a friendly, no-nonsense voice that feels suitable for contemporary branding and utility-forward design.
The design appears intended to provide a robust, contemporary sans with clear geometry and open forms for high-impact typography. Emphasis is placed on legibility and consistency, delivering a dependable workhorse look for modern display and brand applications.
Diagonal letters (like K, V, W, X, Y) keep crisp angles while maintaining the same heavy weight as the verticals, supporting strong rhythm in all-caps settings. Lowercase forms stay simple and open, favoring legibility and directness over calligraphic nuance.
