A heavy, monoline sans with a geometric foundation and broadly rounded curves. Uppercase forms are wide and stable with squared terminals and smooth bowls, while lowercase shows a single-storey a and g that keep the rhythm simple and compact. Counters are generous for the weight, apertures stay open in letters like c, e, and s, and the overall spacing feels even and purposeful. Figures are sturdy and plainspoken, with simple shapes and consistent stroke endings that match the rest of the alphabet.
This font is well suited for headlines, short statements, and brand marks where a solid, modern voice is needed. It also works effectively for signage and UI labels thanks to its open shapes and stable proportions, especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone is modern and confident, with a friendly, approachable bluntness rather than sharp precision. Its rounded geometry and steady rhythm give it a practical, contemporary feel suited to clear messaging and bold emphasis.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary geometric sans that reads quickly and holds visual presence without relying on contrast or ornament. Its simplified lowercase and consistent terminals suggest an emphasis on usability and repeatable, system-friendly typography.
The design favors clarity over finesse: joins and curves are kept smooth, diagonals are strong (notably in A, V, W, X, Y), and the punctuation and numerals sit comfortably at display sizes. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike texture that remains readable even as the weight increases.
