A solid, geometric sans with broad, even strokes and smoothly rounded curves. Counters are open and largely circular, with minimal modulation and a crisp, no-nonsense finish. Terminals tend toward blunt, squared endings, and joins stay clean and sturdy, giving the letters a compact, high-density feel. The lowercase reads as simple and utilitarian, with single-storey forms where expected and a generally consistent rhythm across the set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where you want a compact, high-impact message with clean geometry. It also performs well for signage and packaging, especially in short phrases or bold typographic blocks where strong presence and quick recognition matter.
The overall tone is modern and confident, projecting clarity and directness without feeling cold. Its rounded geometry adds a friendly, approachable edge, while the heavy color on the page gives it an assertive, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears intended as a dependable, contemporary sans for prominent display use, emphasizing geometric clarity, robust construction, and consistent rhythm. It prioritizes punchy legibility and a cohesive, modern silhouette for titles and brand-facing typography.
At larger sizes the shapes feel stable and highly uniform, with strong figure/ground contrast that favors impact over delicacy. The numerals and capitals carry the same geometric logic, producing a cohesive, signage-like consistency.
