A sturdy sans with generous proportions and broad, open counters. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal modulation, producing a compact, high-impact texture in text. Curves read as smooth and near-geometric (notably in C, O, and S), while terminals are clean and mostly squared, keeping edges crisp. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, short-to-moderate ascenders and descenders, and a clear, rounded i/j dot that stays visually prominent at this weight. Figures are simple and workmanlike with large interior spaces, designed to hold up at display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and short-form messaging where strong presence and quick legibility are needed. It can also serve branding, packaging, and wayfinding/signage applications that benefit from a bold, clean sans with open counters and stable letterforms.
The overall tone is confident and contemporary, leaning more utilitarian than expressive. Its solid color and open shapes feel straightforward and dependable, with just enough roundness to keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum clarity and impact with a simple, modern construction. It prioritizes legibility and a steady typographic color, offering a dependable sans for attention-grabbing display use and straightforward communication.
In the sample text, spacing and rhythm stay even despite the heavy stroke weight, helping word shapes remain readable. The ampersand and punctuation appear robust and visually consistent with the rest of the set, supporting a cohesive, no-nonsense voice.
