A compact, heavy sans with largely geometric construction and clean, unmodulated strokes. Curves are round and full (notably in O/C/G) while joins and terminals stay straightforward, producing a solid, even color in text. Proportions feel slightly condensed in places with tight counters and a strong vertical rhythm; round letters remain broad but the overall set reads as space-efficient. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a short, sturdy t, and generally squared shoulders and apertures that emphasize clarity at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, short copy, and display settings where a strong, compact sans is needed. It works well for branding and packaging that benefit from a modern, no-nonsense voice, and can hold up in signage or UI callouts where emphasis and quick scanning are priorities.
The tone is direct and dependable, with an assertive presence that stays neutral rather than expressive. Its sturdy shapes and compact fit give it a practical, contemporary feel suited to information-forward design.
The design appears intended as a strong, general-purpose display sans that prioritizes punchy presence and clean geometry. Its simplified forms and consistent stroke behavior suggest a focus on reliable reproduction across sizes and contexts where bold clarity is essential.
In the sample text, the weight produces strong emphasis and clear word shapes, especially in headlines. Numerals are robust and highly legible, with simple forms and minimal ornament, matching the alphabet’s straightforward geometry.
