A solid, geometric sans with broad proportions and generous internal space. Strokes are uniform and heavy, with clean, straight terminals and smoothly rounded curves in bowls and counters. Circular forms read as near-elliptical and open, while verticals stay steady and upright, producing an even, stable texture. The lowercase shows simple, contemporary constructions (single-storey shapes where applicable) with compact joins and minimal modulation, keeping the rhythm dense but clear at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where a strong, modern presence is needed—such as posters, brand marks, packaging, and wayfinding/signage. Its open counters and simple geometry can also work for UI labels or subheads when used with ample spacing and not set too small.
The overall tone is assertive and straightforward, with a friendly modernity coming from the round forms and open counters. It feels pragmatic and contemporary rather than delicate or expressive, projecting clarity and dependability.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-impact sans that remains approachable through geometric roundness and open forms. It prioritizes clarity and consistency over calligraphic nuance, aiming for reliable readability in bold, attention-getting settings.
Spacing appears tuned for impact: wide letterforms and strong stroke weight create a blocky, high-presence line while still maintaining readable apertures in letters like e, a, and s. Numerals follow the same sturdy geometry, with rounded figures and consistent stroke weight that visually match the capitals.
