A heavy, wide grotesque-style sans with softly rounded corners and a steady, architectural build. Strokes show subtle contrast, especially where curves transition into stems, giving counters a slightly sculpted feel rather than a purely monoline construction. Uppercase forms are broad and stable with generous internal space; round letters like O and Q read as full, near-circular bowls, while diagonals in V/W/X are thick and emphatic. The lowercase is sturdy and compact, with single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and straightforward, vertical-sided forms that keep the texture even. Numerals are robust and clear, with a notably open, easy-to-read 4 and a rounded 8 with balanced bowls.
Best suited to display roles where width and weight can do the work: headlines, poster typography, brand marks, packaging, and large-format signage. It can function in short text blocks or standfirsts when generous line spacing is available, but its expansive footprint and dark color make it less ideal for dense, space-constrained body copy.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, projecting clarity and authority without feeling sharp or clinical. The slight softening at corners and the open counters add friendliness, making it feel approachable while still strong enough for attention-grabbing settings.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, modern sans presence with extra horizontal emphasis, pairing strong geometry with slightly softened details for a more welcoming, contemporary voice. The subtle contrast appears intended to add refinement and differentiation at large sizes while keeping the overall forms clean and highly legible.
In text, the wide set and weight create a dark, punchy color, with consistent spacing and a steady rhythm that favors impact over economy. The design’s openness helps preserve legibility despite the heavy strokes, especially in rounded and open letters.
