A sturdy sans with broad proportions and an even, monoline stroke. Letterforms lean on geometric construction—round counters, smooth curves, and firm straight stems—while terminals are mostly clean-cut rather than tapered. The uppercase has a wide, stable stance with generous bowls (C, O, G) and a straightforward, low-contrast rhythm; the lowercase follows with open, readable apertures and compact joins that keep the texture dense at display sizes. Numerals are similarly bold and simple, with rounded shapes and clear silhouettes designed to hold up in heavy settings.
Best suited to headlines and short-form copy where its heavy, wide shapes can create impact and quick legibility. It also fits branding systems, packaging, and signage that need a clean, contemporary voice with strong presence. In longer passages it produces a dense typographic color, so it works best when given sufficient size and spacing.
The overall tone is modern and assertive, with a friendly, approachable warmth coming from the rounded forms. Its weight and width give it a confident, headline-forward presence without feeling aggressive, making it feel contemporary and practical rather than decorative.
The design appears intended as a bold, geometric workhorse for modern display typography: clear, sturdy letterforms optimized for impact, consistency, and quick recognition across mixed-case text and numerals.
Counters stay relatively open for a heavy style, helping maintain clarity in tight settings. The design favors strong, easily recognizable silhouettes and consistent spacing, producing a dark, even color in blocks of text—especially noticeable in the sample paragraph.
