A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and generous counters. Strokes are largely monolinear with clean, squared terminals and smoothly rounded bowls, creating a solid, even texture in text. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with compact ascenders and descenders, and the overall spacing reads open rather than tight. Numerals are similarly weighty and simple, matching the letterforms’ straightforward construction.
Best suited to display sizes where its wide footprint and heavy weight can deliver impact—such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and prominent UI or wayfinding elements. It can work for short blocks of text, but its substantial weight and width are most effective in titles, labels, and callouts.
The tone is direct and contemporary, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Rounded geometry keeps it approachable, while the wide stance and dense weight give it a strong, assertive voice suited to bold messaging.
Likely designed to provide a robust, highly legible geometric sans that feels modern and accessible while maintaining strong visual authority. The emphasis appears to be on simple shapes, consistent rhythm, and confident readability in display contexts.
Round letters (like O/C/e) lean toward near-circular construction, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) stay crisp and stable without decorative shaping. The lowercase g is single-storey and the overall design favors clarity and impact over delicate detail.
