A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and low stroke modulation. Forms lean on circles and rounded rectangles, with smooth curves, blunt terminals, and generously open counters that keep the texture readable despite the weight. The cap set is stable and compact with straightforward construction, while the lowercase shows simple, contemporary shapes (single-storey a and g) and a short-armed r that reinforces the sturdy, utilitarian rhythm. Numerals are large and solid with clear silhouettes, suited to display use.
Best suited to headlines, branding, and short-form messaging where strong presence is needed. It also fits packaging and signage applications that benefit from bold, open shapes and quick recognition at a glance.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, combining a no-nonsense solidity with rounded, approachable curves. It reads as modern and pragmatic rather than formal, making it feel confident and friendly at the same time.
The design appears intended as a contemporary display sans: maximally legible at large sizes, visually even and geometric, and built to deliver impact while staying approachable through rounded construction and open counters.
Round letters like C, G, O, and Q show consistent curvature and smooth joins, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, N) keep a firm, rectilinear backbone. Diagonals in K, V, W, X, and Y are wide and weighty, giving the face a strong headline presence and a slightly poster-like density at larger sizes.
