A sturdy geometric sans with even, heavy strokes and smoothly rounded curves. Counters are open and generously sized, with circular forms in O/0 and b/p/q that feel close to true ovals. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, while joins are tight and controlled, producing a compact, solid texture in text. The lowercase shows a two-storey g with a prominent ear and a single-storey a, and the numerals are simple, broad, and clearly differentiated.
Best suited to prominent applications where its solid stroke weight and clear geometry can carry impact—headlines, brand wordmarks, posters, and signage. It also works well for short UI labels and callouts where a confident, high-contrast presence (in terms of overall mass, not stroke modulation) is desirable.
The overall tone is modern and practical, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded bowls and open counters. It reads as dependable and no-nonsense rather than expressive, lending a calm, contemporary voice to headings and UI-like messaging.
The design appears intended to provide a robust, contemporary sans that balances geometric roundness with conventional readability cues. It prioritizes clarity and presence, aiming for a versatile voice that can feel both modern and approachable across display and functional uses.
In running text the weight creates a strong, dark color, so spacing and counters do much of the work for clarity. The shapes lean toward geometric construction while maintaining familiar, conventional letterforms, keeping the look approachable and broadly usable.
