A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and rounded curves that read as smooth and contemporary. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing solid silhouettes and strong color on the page. Counters tend to be compact and apertures are relatively closed, which amplifies the bold, poster-like presence. Terminals are clean and mostly squared-off with subtle rounding at joins, and the overall rhythm feels even and sturdy across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, hero text, and short statements where weight and width can create immediate emphasis. It also fits branding systems, signage, and packaging that benefit from a sturdy, contemporary sans with high visual presence. For longer text, it’s most comfortable as a display face rather than a primary body font.
The tone is assertive and energetic while staying approachable, thanks to the rounded geometry and steady, no-nonsense construction. It conveys a modern, practical confidence suited to attention-grabbing messaging rather than delicate nuance.
The design appears intended to provide a modern, highly emphatic sans for display settings, prioritizing bold presence, geometric clarity, and a friendly smoothness in curves. Its consistent stroke weight and broad proportions suggest a focus on impactful typography across titles and prominent UI or marketing moments.
At large sizes it delivers strong impact and clear shapes; the dense counters and tight openings suggest it may need generous sizing or spacing in longer passages to maintain clarity. Numerals share the same robust, geometric feel, supporting consistent typographic voice in data and headings.
