A heavy, geometric sans with broad, rounded bowls and sturdy verticals that keep counters open despite the mass. Curves are smooth and circular in feel, while joins and terminals stay clean and largely straight, producing a compact, blocky texture in text. Uppercase forms read stable and architectural; lowercase follows the same simple construction with a single-storey “a” and a looped “g,” plus round i/j dots that add a crisp beat to the rhythm. Numerals are robust and clear, with an especially bold, circular “8” and evenly weighted figures overall.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding, and packaging where strong typographic presence is needed. It should also work well for large-size UI labels or signage that benefits from compact, high-contrast-to-background letterforms and quick recognition.
The tone is assertive and dependable, with a contemporary, no-nonsense presence that still feels approachable due to the rounded geometry. It suggests clarity and impact rather than delicacy, making it feel energetic and confident in display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with minimal stylistic distraction: a bold, geometric sans that stays clean and consistent across glyphs. Its simple construction and rounded forms aim to balance authority with approachability for contemporary display typography.
Spacing and proportions create a dense, punchy color on the page, and the consistent geometry across caps, lowercase, and numerals helps it feel unified in headlines and short blocks of copy. The shapes favor legibility through simple silhouettes and relatively open apertures for a weight this heavy.
