A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and strongly rounded bowls paired with crisp, squared terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, high-impact letterforms and tight counters in characters like a, e, and s. Curves are smooth and circular (notably in O, Q, and 0), while diagonals in A, V, W, and X stay straight and sturdy, giving the design a clean, engineered rhythm. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a simple, straight-sided m/n construction, and a compact, utilitarian t with a short crossbar.
This font performs best where immediacy and presence matter: headlines, poster typography, bold branding moments, packaging callouts, and short signage messages. It can also work for UI labels or navigational elements when used at sufficiently large sizes and with generous spacing to offset the tight counters.
The overall tone is bold and direct, with an approachable, contemporary feel. Its rounded geometry keeps it friendly, while the mass and width make it assertive and attention-grabbing—well suited to energetic, headline-driven communication.
The design appears intended as a strong, contemporary workhorse display sans: geometric, highly legible at large sizes, and built to deliver a confident visual punch while remaining friendly through rounded forms.
The numerals share the same geometric logic, with rounded forms and tight internal spaces that read strongly at larger sizes. The set favors clarity and impact over delicacy, with clean joins and terminals that stay uniform across the alphabet.
