A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and a large x-height. Strokes are monolinear with minimal modulation, and terminals are predominantly flat-cut, giving the forms a blunt, sturdy finish. Counters are generally open and round, with circular bowls in letters like O and C and straightforward, compact joins in M/N. The lowercase is simple and contemporary, featuring a single-storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and a broad, symmetrical w; figures are similarly plain and robust with clear, even color across a line of text.
This design performs best in headlines and short blocks of copy where strong presence and quick readability are needed. It also suits signage, branding, packaging, and UI display contexts where a clean, geometric voice and consistent weight help maintain clarity and impact.
The overall tone is modern and confident, with a friendly practicality rather than a delicate or formal voice. Its solid weight and open shapes read as direct, dependable, and highly legible, making it feel suited to contemporary, no-nonsense communication.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, high-impact sans that prioritizes clarity and uniformity. By combining geometric curves, flat terminals, and a large x-height, it aims to deliver a straightforward, versatile voice for display typography and prominent messaging.
The font maintains an even rhythm and consistent stroke endings, producing strong typographic color and clear word shapes at larger sizes. Round characters stay close to true circles, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are kept thick enough to avoid looking spindly, reinforcing the font’s sturdy presence.
