A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and large, open counters. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a solid, even texture. Curves are round and smooth while joins and terminals tend toward squared, no-nonsense finishes, giving letters a sturdy, built-from-shapes feel. Spacing reads generous and stable, and the forms stay clear and legible at display sizes, with simple, uncluttered details across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headline and display typography where bold presence and quick readability matter—such as posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, packaging, and brand marks. It also works well for short blocks of emphasis text, callouts, and large-format UI or dashboards where sturdy numerals and clear letterforms are important.
The overall tone is assertive and practical, with a contemporary, workmanlike edge. It feels confident and direct rather than delicate, lending itself to messaging that needs presence and clarity.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, contemporary sans with strong visual impact and dependable legibility. Its simplified shapes and consistent weight suggest an emphasis on clarity, durability, and a versatile modern voice for prominent text.
Round characters like O/C/G are notably full and open, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are thick and decisive, reinforcing the font’s strong rhythm. Numerals carry the same weight and simplicity, keeping a consistent voice in mixed text and data-heavy settings.
