The basic design shapes for the font come from the strong personality of the ultra heavy characters drawn by Francesco Canovaro. The basic shape has a modernist logic with slight calligraphic variations like the tail of the j, of the l and the hectic k. Uppercase letters are drawn with a slab serif look, as the font is thought to work better in upper/ lowercase combinations.

The family comprises 4 weights from light to ultra with an italic version. Lighter weights were developed keeping the width of the character consistent and adding length to the slab serif.
