A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and smooth, round curves. Strokes are monolinear and consistent, with open apertures and generous counters that keep the forms clear at display sizes. Terminals are clean and straightforward, and the overall rhythm is even and stable, producing strong word shapes with minimal fuss.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, and prominent branding where a strong, contemporary voice is needed. It also works well for packaging and signage, where wide, open shapes help maintain quick recognition at a glance.
The tone is modern and confident, with an approachable friendliness coming from the rounded forms and open interiors. Its weight and width give it an assertive, headline-ready presence without feeling aggressive.
The design appears intended as a clear, contemporary workhorse for attention-grabbing typography—built from simple geometric logic to deliver impact, consistency, and readability in large-scale use.
The numerals share the same sturdy, geometric construction as the letters, reading cleanly in large sizes. Overall spacing feels comfortable for display settings, supporting dense blocks of large text while maintaining clarity.
