A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and sturdy, even strokes. Curves are built from large-radius arcs with smooth joins, while terminals are mostly flat and squared-off, creating a clean, blocky silhouette. Counters stay open despite the weight, and the overall rhythm is steady and uncluttered, with straightforward, no-nonsense letterforms and minimal modulation.
Best suited to display settings where impact and clarity are needed—headlines, posters, large labels, and wayfinding. It also works well for brand marks and packaging that benefit from a sturdy, contemporary sans voice, while longer text is likely most comfortable at larger sizes due to the dense, heavy color.
The tone is bold and direct, with a contemporary, approachable feel rather than aggressive sharpness. Its large, rounded forms and consistent construction give it a friendly solidity that reads as confident and practical.
Designed to deliver a strong, modern sans presence with high visual weight and simple geometric construction. The goal appears to be dependable readability and bold emphasis across short messages, titles, and graphic applications.
The lowercase shows single-storey construction where expected and maintains clear differentiation between similar shapes (e.g., o vs. a vs. e) through distinct apertures and bowls. Numerals match the same robust geometry, producing strong, poster-like figures that remain legible at a glance.
