A heavy, geometric sans with broad, even strokes and clean, open counters. Curves are built from simple circular/elliptical shapes, while joins and terminals read as crisp and mostly square-cut, giving the forms a sturdy, compact silhouette. Proportions are slightly condensed in feel, with generous weight relative to internal space; apertures remain fairly open so the letters stay legible despite the mass. Numerals and capitals carry a strong, blocky rhythm, while lowercase forms keep a simple, utilitarian construction with minimal gesture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and other short-to-medium display settings where strong presence is needed. It can also work well for branding, packaging, and signage that benefit from a compact, high-impact sans voice. In longer text, it will read dense and heavy, so larger sizes and ample spacing are likely to help.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, projecting clarity and emphasis without feeling ornate. Rounded geometry adds an approachable, contemporary friendliness, making the voice feel modern and direct rather than aggressive.
Designed to deliver maximum emphasis with a clean, geometric construction and straightforward letterforms. The intent appears to balance punchy display weight with enough openness in counters and apertures to keep common words readable.
At display sizes the tight interior spaces and thick joins create a dense color that reads as authoritative and attention-grabbing. The sample text shows a consistent texture and stable alignment, with punctuation and numerals matching the same solid, geometric character.
