A heavy, geometric sans with monoline strokes, broad proportions, and smoothly rounded curves. Circular forms (C, O, Q, 0) read as near-perfect rounds with generous counters, while straight-sided letters keep a crisp, engineered feel. Terminals are clean and mostly squared-off, and joins are smooth, producing an even rhythm in text. The lowercase is sturdy and simple, with a single-storey “a” and “g”, open apertures, and compact, well-contained shapes that hold up at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short text where strong presence and clarity are needed—brand marks, packaging, posters, signage, and promotional graphics. The open shapes and even stroke behavior also make it a workable choice for UI labels and dashboard-style typography when a bold, friendly voice is desired.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, combining a friendly roundness with a confident, no-nonsense weight. It feels contemporary and slightly tech-forward without becoming cold, making it suitable for brands that want clarity plus warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a versatile, contemporary sans that prioritizes legibility and punch, using geometric construction and rounded forms to stay approachable while remaining crisp and systematic.
The numerals are wide and highly legible, with round 8/9 forms and a straightforward, utilitarian construction. In the sample text, the font maintains strong texture and consistent color, emphasizing impact and readability over delicacy.
