A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and consistently thick strokes. Curves are clean and near-circular, while joins and terminals are mostly square-cut, giving the letters a sturdy, engineered feel. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a round dot on i/j, and compact bowls with relatively open counters for the weight. Overall spacing reads even and generous enough to keep the dense letterforms from clogging, especially in the sample text.
Best suited to display work where impact and clarity are needed: headlines, poster copy, branding and logo wordmarks, packaging, and short signage text. The strong weight and open interior shapes help it hold up at large sizes and in high-contrast, attention-driven layouts.
The font conveys an assertive, contemporary tone that feels approachable rather than severe. Its big, rounded forms and solid weight give it a bold voice suited to energetic messaging, while the tidy geometry keeps it polished and controlled.
The design appears intended as a versatile, modern display sans that balances geometric simplicity with friendly, rounded readability. It prioritizes bold presence and clean construction for contemporary graphic design and brand-forward typography.
Distinctive shapes include a triangular A with a low-ish crossbar, a Q with a short diagonal tail, and numerals that are rounded and uniform in color. Diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are sturdy and wide, contributing to a stable rhythm in all-caps settings.
