A heavy, geometric sans with broad, rounded bowls and a compact, tightly packed rhythm. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are mostly clean and square, softened by generous curves in round letters. Counters are relatively small for the weight, giving the forms a dense, poster-ready color while maintaining clear apertures in letters like C, S, and e. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, simple construction, and short extenders, reinforcing an efficient, utilitarian silhouette.
Best suited to display work where strong presence is needed—headlines, posters, labels, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for short UI labels or callouts where a dense, high-impact sans is desirable, but its heavy color suggests avoiding long body text at small sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat: bold enough to feel confident and attention-grabbing, yet rounded shapes keep it approachable rather than aggressive. It reads as contemporary and practical, with a no-nonsense voice that still feels friendly in headlines.
The design appears intended as a dependable, geometric workhorse for impactful display typography—prioritizing bold clarity, compact spacing, and a consistent, simplified construction across letters and numbers.
Round characters (O, Q, 0, 8, 9) lean strongly circular, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are thick and stable, helping the font hold up in large sizes. The numerals appear robust and signage-like, matching the uppercase weight and presence.
