A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and tightly controlled apertures. Strokes are uniform and dense, with rounded curves paired to flat, squared terminals, producing a compact, blocky rhythm. Counters are relatively small in letters like a, e, and s, while round forms (o, O, Q) stay smooth and near-circular. The uppercase reads as solid and even, and the lowercase maintains clear, single-storey shapes with sturdy joins and minimal modulation.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where a strong, legible voice is needed—posters, bold branding systems, packaging, and short signage messages. It can also work for large UI labels or navigation where high emphasis is desired, but the dense interiors may feel heavy in smaller, text-heavy contexts.
The overall tone is bold and assertive while remaining approachable due to its rounded geometry. It feels contemporary and utilitarian, with a straightforward presence that projects clarity and confidence. The heft gives it a poster-like punch, but the smooth curves keep it from feeling harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a clean, contemporary construction: wide, stable letterforms, uniform stroke weight, and simple geometry that stays readable at a glance. It prioritizes presence and consistency across uppercase, lowercase, and figures for cohesive display typography.
At larger sizes the compact counters and tight apertures create strong ink presence, especially in dense lines of text. Numerals follow the same sturdy, geometric logic, with simple silhouettes and consistent weight that match the capitals well.
