A heavy, geometric sans with clean, monoline construction and rounded bowls set against straight, squared terminals. Curves are broadly circular (notably in O, C, G, and lower-case o), while joins and ends stay crisp and minimally softened, producing a sturdy, contemporary silhouette. Counters are moderately open for the weight, and proportions feel compact and efficient, with short ascenders/descenders and a steady baseline rhythm. The uppercase reads solid and architectural; the lowercase maintains the same geometric logic with simple, utilitarian forms and consistent stroke thickness throughout.
This font is well suited to display settings where strong typographic color is needed: headlines, brand marks, posters, and packaging. Its geometric consistency and compact rhythm also make it a good fit for product UI moments such as hero text, navigation labels, and short callouts where a confident, contemporary tone is desired.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, pairing friendly roundness with a confident, no-nonsense weight. It feels contemporary and pragmatic—more “product” than “editorial”—with a clear, straightforward voice that suits digital-first design.
The design appears intended to deliver a sturdy geometric sans with high impact and clean reproduction across modern layouts. It prioritizes simple forms, consistent stroke weight, and clear shapes to create a dependable, contemporary workhorse for prominent typography.
The dot on i/j is round and prominent, reinforcing the geometric theme. The numerals are similarly bold and simplified, designed for quick recognition at larger sizes where their compact shapes and strong color can carry UI and branding roles.
