A heavy, wide sans with a smooth geometric skeleton and largely monoline strokes. Curves are built from generous circular forms, producing round counters and soft shoulders, while terminals are cleanly finished for a crisp silhouette. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with compact ascenders/descenders, and the overall spacing and proportions create a stable, horizontal rhythm. Bowls and rounds (o, e, c, g) are open and readable, with a single-story a and g contributing to a straightforward, contemporary texture.
Well suited to headlines, branding marks, posters, and display settings where a strong, wide silhouette is desirable. It can also work for short UI labels, signage, and packaging where high impact and quick readability are priorities.
The tone is contemporary and confident, with a slightly futuristic, engineered feel that still reads approachable due to its rounded geometry. Its width and weight give it a strong, attention-grabbing voice suited to punchy statements and clear emphasis.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, wide display voice with clean geometry and friendly rounded forms, balancing contemporary style with practical legibility for prominent text.
Numerals and capitals share the same broad stance, reinforcing a consistent, blocky presence in headings. The sample text shows solid word shapes and strong color at larger sizes, with counters staying open enough to preserve clarity despite the heavy weight.
