A sturdy geometric sans with broad proportions and generously open counters. Strokes are monolinear with clean, squared terminals, and curves read as smooth, near-circular forms (notably in O, C, G, and 0). The caps are simple and constructed, with a low, straight-sided A and a compact, pragmatic R leg; diagonals in V/W/X are crisp and symmetrical. Lowercase is straightforward and highly legible, with a single-storey a and g, an open e, a short-shouldered r, and a relatively short crossbar on t; punctuation and figures follow the same solid, uncluttered logic.
Best suited to headlines, branding, signage, and short blocks of copy where bold presence and fast readability matter. It also works well for interface labels and packaging where clarity and a modern, constructed look are desired.
The overall tone is contemporary and no-nonsense, projecting confidence through weight and width while staying approachable via rounded geometry and open shapes. It feels utilitarian rather than expressive, with a calm, dependable voice suited to clear communication.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, geometric workhorse: simple forms, consistent stroke behavior, and open counters aimed at producing clear, assertive typography across display and general-purpose settings.
In text, the even rhythm and broad set create strong color and emphasis, making it particularly effective at larger sizes. The wide proportions and heavy strokes can dominate in dense paragraphs, but the open apertures help maintain clarity.
