A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and strongly rounded bowls. Strokes are monolinear and terminal treatment is mostly flat, giving the forms a solid, block-like presence. Curves are built from near-circular geometry (notably in O/C/G and the numerals), while diagonals in A/V/W/X/Y stay crisp and straight. Counters are relatively compact and apertures are moderately tight, reinforcing a dense, poster-ready color on the page. Overall spacing appears deliberate and even, maintaining a steady rhythm in both all-caps and mixed-case text.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short blocks of copy where maximum impact and quick recognition are needed. It performs well in branding and packaging that benefit from a sturdy, contemporary voice, and in signage where broad shapes and simple construction help letters hold up at a distance. For longer reading, it’s most comfortable at larger sizes and with generous line spacing to offset the dense typographic color.
The tone is bold and self-assured with a contemporary, approachable edge. Its rounded geometry keeps it from feeling aggressive, while the dense weight and wide stance make it feel emphatic and attention-grabbing. The result reads as modern, practical, and slightly playful in display settings.
The design appears intended as a geometric, high-impact sans that prioritizes bold presence and clarity over delicacy. Its consistent stroke weight and rounded construction suggest a focus on strong silhouettes, reliable reproduction, and a modern, approachable personality for display-led typography.
Uppercase forms lean toward classic geometric constructions, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, utilitarian feel with simple, sturdy stems and rounded joins. Numerals are similarly geometric and hefty, producing strong emphasis in data-heavy headlines. In paragraph-like settings at large sizes, the heavy texture dominates, so it reads more like a display voice than a subtle text face.
