A heavy, expanded sans with predominantly geometric construction and smooth, rounded curves. Strokes are consistently thick with little visible contrast, and terminals tend to be blunt or softly squared rather than tapered. Round letters show broad, even bowls and large counters, while straight-sided forms keep a stable, rectangular rhythm; diagonals (A, V, W, X) read sturdy and wide. Lowercase forms are simplified and highly legible, with open apertures (notably in c, e, s) and a single-storey a, reinforcing a clean, contemporary texture in text.
Best suited to headline and display applications where its wide, heavy forms can create strong visual impact—posters, titles, branding, packaging, and attention-grabbing signage. It can also work for short UI labels or callouts when a bold, high-clarity tone is needed, though the expanded width will demand extra horizontal space.
The overall tone is modern and assertive without feeling harsh. Its broad proportions and rounded geometry give it a friendly, approachable voice, while the dense strokes and steady rhythm project confidence and clarity, suggesting a contemporary, tech-forward sensibility.
This design appears intended as a contemporary, high-impact sans that stays clean and readable while delivering a bold presence. The wide proportions, geometric bowls, and simplified lowercase forms suggest a focus on clarity, modernity, and dependable visual consistency across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
In running text the spacing reads generous and the shapes remain distinct at large sizes, aided by clear counters and straightforward joins. Numerals match the same wide, sturdy construction, keeping a consistent visual color across mixed alphanumeric settings.
