A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and a compact, even rhythm. Strokes are monolinear with low visible modulation, and terminals are largely blunt with subtly rounded joins that keep the shapes from feeling harsh. Curves are built from clean circular/elliptical forms, with generous counters in letters like O, D, and P, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) read crisp and stable. Lowercase features a tall x-height and simple, single-storey constructions, contributing to strong presence at both display and large-text sizes.
Best suited for headlines, logotypes, packaging, signage, and other situations where strong typographic presence is needed. It can also work for short bursts of UI or editorial subheads, especially where clarity and emphasis are priorities.
The overall tone is direct and self-assured, with a contemporary, approachable feel. Its wide stance and solid color create an energetic, headline-ready voice that still stays neutral enough for brand systems and utilitarian UI moments.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, geometric sans voice with maximum impact and clear, simplified forms. Its tall lowercase and broad proportions suggest a focus on readability at larger sizes while maintaining a bold, contemporary brand character.
Spacing appears moderately tight in the sample text, producing dense, high-ink paragraphs that emphasize impact over airiness. Numerals are sturdy and straightforward, matching the letterforms’ geometric logic and maintaining consistent visual weight.
