A geometric sans with broad proportions and low-contrast, even stroke weight throughout. Curves are drawn from clean circular and elliptical forms, producing generous counters in letters like O, Q, and e, while straight segments stay crisp and unbracketed. Terminals are mostly flat and decisive, with a clear, constructed feel in diagonals (V, W, Y) and simplified joins. The lowercase keeps straightforward, single-storey forms and a compact, functional rhythm, and the numerals follow the same rounded, open construction for consistency in running text and UI-like settings.
Well-suited to headlines, logotypes, and brand systems that want a clean geometric voice with a friendly edge. The broad proportions and open counters also work effectively for short UI labels, signage, and packaging where clarity at a glance and a modern tone are priorities.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, combining a technical, engineered clarity with softened geometry. Its wide stance and rounded interiors give it an easy, confident presence that reads as modern, product-oriented, and slightly playful without becoming informal.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary geometric sans with strong visual presence and consistent, constructed forms. The emphasis appears to be on crisp readability and a streamlined, product-ready aesthetic that stays neutral enough for systems work while still feeling distinctive.
The design leans on strong geometric repetition—especially in bowls and rounded joins—creating a cohesive texture across mixed-case settings. Wide capitals and broad round letters (C, G, O, Q) contribute to a spacious, headline-forward color, while the simplified lowercase maintains legibility through open apertures and clear counters.
