A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and rounded bowls that read as smooth and engineered rather than calligraphic. Strokes are uniform with minimal modulation, and terminals are largely straight-cut, producing crisp edges alongside soft curves. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and many forms show slightly squared inner shaping (notably in letters like C, G, S, and the numerals), giving the design a sturdy, block-forward rhythm. The lowercase has a tall x-height and simple constructions, supporting strong legibility at larger sizes while maintaining a dense, impactful texture in text.
Well-suited for bold headlines, posters, signage, and brand marks where strong presence and quick readability are priorities. Its wide, geometric forms also work well for packaging and promotional graphics that need a contemporary, energetic tone.
The overall tone is bold and assertive with a friendly, contemporary warmth from the rounded geometry. It feels energetic and promotional—more "headline voice" than quiet text—suggesting clarity, momentum, and confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with clean, geometric construction—favoring strong silhouettes, open counters, and a high x-height for readable, attention-grabbing display typography.
The numerals follow the same geometric logic as the letters, with wide silhouettes and smooth, continuous curves where applicable (e.g., 0, 6, 8, 9) and flatter cuts on 2, 3, 5, and 7. Spacing appears balanced for display, yielding a solid, even color in large blocks of text without looking cramped.
