A heavy, geometric sans with round bowls and smooth, circular curves paired with straight, mostly vertical terminals. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, with simple construction and minimal stroke modulation, while lowercase maintains a compact rhythm with clear counters. Apertures are generally moderate, and joins are clean and direct; the overall texture reads even and solid in text. Figures are sturdy and highly uniform, with the “1” drawn as a plain vertical stroke and the “0” nearly circular.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It also works well for signage and short UI labels where clarity and uniformity matter, though long-form text will appear dark and tight compared to lighter sans styles.
The tone is contemporary and straightforward, projecting confidence and clarity without feeling technical or severe. Its rounded geometry adds a mild friendliness, making it feel approachable while still businesslike.
The design appears intended as a contemporary workhorse sans with a strong, geometric backbone—built to deliver clear shapes, consistent rhythm, and assertive presence across display and short text applications.
At display sizes the weight creates strong graphic presence, and in paragraph settings it produces a dense, consistent color. The forms lean toward geometric regularity, favoring symmetry and simple construction over calligraphic nuance.
