A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and a steady, even stroke weight throughout. Curves are built from clean circular/elliptical shapes, while terminals are largely straight-cut, giving counters a tidy, open feel at display sizes. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g with simple construction, short-to-moderate ascenders, and sturdy verticals; spacing reads generous enough to keep dense words from clogging, despite the strong weight.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as headlines, poster titles, signage, and bold brand wordmarks where its weight and width can create immediate visual impact. It also works well for packaging callouts and short UI or display labels that need strong legibility and a contemporary, neutral character.
The tone is direct and modern, projecting confidence and clarity rather than delicacy. Its smooth geometry and uncomplicated letterforms keep it approachable, while the strong presence adds a no-nonsense, assertive voice.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-impact workhorse sans: simple geometric construction, consistent stroke color, and sturdy proportions that prioritize clarity and presence in display settings.
Round characters (C, O, Q, e) maintain consistent curvature and counter shapes, creating a cohesive rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals are similarly robust and straightforward, suited to prominence in layouts where figures must hold their own against heavy text.
