A heavy, geometric sans with smooth curves and firm, straight strokes. Counters are generally large and round, with open apertures that keep small sizes readable. Terminals are mostly clean and blunt, while joins stay tidy and consistent, giving the design a steady rhythm across text. Uppercase forms feel broadly constructed and symmetrical, and the lowercase shows straightforward, contemporary shapes with minimal modulation.
Well suited to interface typography, dashboards, and wayfinding where sturdy letterforms and open counters help maintain clarity. It also performs strongly for bold headlines, packaging, and brand systems that need a contemporary, geometric voice with good readability. In longer passages it works best when set with comfortable spacing to preserve rhythm at the heavier weight.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, balancing a friendly roundness with a confident, no-nonsense weight. It reads as contemporary and utilitarian rather than expressive or decorative, making it feel at home in product and interface contexts. The uniformity and clarity give it a dependable, technical edge without becoming cold.
The design appears intended as a versatile, contemporary workhorse sans: geometric in construction, visually stable, and optimized for clear communication. It prioritizes straightforward shapes, consistent proportions, and legible counters to support both display use and functional text settings.
Round letters like O/Q and numerals such as 0/8/9 emphasize circular construction, while diagonals in A/V/W/X keep sharp, clean angles. The uppercase maintains a stable, sign-like presence, and the lowercase remains compact and efficient for continuous reading.
