A sturdy sans with broad proportions and generously open counters. Strokes are heavy and fairly uniform, with rounded curves that meet straight stems cleanly, giving letters a smooth, geometric feel without looking rigid. Terminals are mostly blunt and horizontal/vertical, and the overall spacing reads even, producing a steady texture in paragraphs. The lowercase shows simple, contemporary forms with a single-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and a clear, circular dot on i/j; numerals are large and sturdy with clear differentiation at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, brand marks, packaging, and short-to-medium copy where strong presence and clarity are needed. It also works well for signage and UI titles where bold letterforms and open counters support quick recognition at a distance or on screens.
The tone is confident and pragmatic, with a friendly softness from the rounded bowls and open shapes. It feels contemporary and approachable rather than technical, making it suitable for messaging that wants to sound direct and dependable.
The design appears aimed at a modern, approachable workhorse sans that prioritizes impact and legibility. Its broad, rounded construction suggests an intent to balance assertiveness with friendliness for contemporary editorial and brand applications.
In the sample text, the heavy weight and wide set create strong word shapes and clear emphasis, especially in headings. The generous apertures and large counters help prevent dark spots, keeping blocks of text from feeling overly dense despite the weight.
