A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and a compact, powerful rhythm. Curves are built from near-circular bowls with smooth joins, while straight strokes terminate in clean, square-ish ends, giving the design a solid, engineered feel. Counters are relatively generous for the weight, and the spacing reads even and stable in both uppercase and lowercase. The lowercase forms are simple and contemporary, with single-storey “a” and “g” and minimal modulation, keeping the texture dense but readable at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and high-impact branding where a strong, modern voice is needed. It will also work well for packaging and short-form messaging, as well as signage and wayfinding at larger sizes where its broad forms and open counters can maintain clarity.
The tone is bold and assertive with a friendly, approachable roundness. It projects a contemporary, energetic personality—more athletic and promotional than editorial—without feeling quirky or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a clean geometric structure, balancing strong presence with approachable rounded forms. It prioritizes clarity and punch in display settings while maintaining consistent, no-nonsense shapes across the alphabet and figures.
Uppercase shapes lean strongly geometric (notably the round letters), while diagonals in letters like K, V, W, X, and Y are cut crisply for a sharp, punchy silhouette. Numerals are similarly robust and clear, with straightforward construction intended for quick recognition.
