A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and generously rounded curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a solid, even color in text. Terminals are mostly straight-cut, while bowls and counters lean circular, giving letters like O/C/G/Q a smooth, open feel. The lowercase shows a compact, contemporary construction with a double-storey g and simple, sturdy joins; numerals are similarly bold and clear, with a straightforward 1 and round, open 8/9 forms.
Best suited for headline typography where strong presence and quick recognition are needed—posters, display banners, brand marks, and packaging. It can also work for short passages, pull quotes, or UI labels when a bold, high-visibility voice is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, pairing strong presence with approachable, rounded shapes. It reads as practical and no-nonsense, but not cold—more friendly-tech and confident than formal or ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact sans that stays legible through open counters and simple, geometric construction. It prioritizes clarity and emphasis, aiming for a versatile display voice that remains clean and approachable.
Spacing and rhythm appear steady in the sample paragraph, supporting short blocks of copy at larger sizes. Wide capitals and large interior counters help maintain clarity despite the heavy weight.
