A heavy, expansive sans with generously wide proportions and round, geometric construction. Strokes are uniform with smooth curves and squared-off terminals, creating a sturdy, even texture in text. Counters are open and clearly shaped (notably in C, e, a, and s), and the curves on letters like O and Q feel near-circular with a consistent stroke envelope. Uppercase forms read solid and architectural, while the lowercase keeps simple, single-storey shapes (a and g) and a straightforward, utilitarian rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short to medium lines where its wide stance can be used for emphasis and presence. It performs well in branding, packaging, signage, and marketing materials that need a modern, high-impact sans with clean geometry. In digital contexts it can work well for hero text, UI headers, and callouts where strong readability at larger sizes is desired.
The overall tone is contemporary and self-assured, with a friendly approachability that comes from the rounded geometry and open forms. Its breadth and weight give it an assertive, headline-forward voice without feeling sharp or aggressive. The impression is clean and practical, suited to brands and interfaces aiming for clarity and impact.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, geometry-led sans that prioritizes bold visual presence, clear counters, and straightforward letter construction. Its wide proportions and uniform stroke behavior suggest a focus on display performance and brand-forward messaging, while maintaining a simple, approachable character.
In the sample text, the wide set and strong weight produce a prominent, attention-grabbing color, with clear word shapes and good separation at large sizes. The numerals are similarly broad and robust, matching the letterforms closely for cohesive display use. The design favors stability and simplicity over intricate detail, making it especially effective when space allows for its width.
