A sturdy, geometric sans with monoline strokes and broadly rounded bowls. Curves are built from near-circular forms (notably in C, O, Q, and G), while straight-sided letters keep a crisp, vertical stance. Terminals are generally clean and squared-off, with subtle optical corrections that prevent the shapes from feeling rigid. Lowercase forms are compact and even, with simple construction (single-storey a and g) and clear counters; overall spacing reads steady and contemporary in text.
Works well for branding and headline typography where a strong, clean silhouette is needed. The uniform stroke and open counters also make it a practical choice for UI labels, signage-like applications, and packaging that benefits from a contemporary, approachable voice.
The tone is modern and approachable, pairing a friendly roundness with a straightforward, no-nonsense presence. It feels confident and contemporary rather than quirky, making it suitable for brands that want clarity without looking clinical.
Likely designed as a versatile geometric sans that emphasizes clarity and consistency, offering a friendly roundness while retaining a firm, contemporary structure for both display and general-purpose text use.
The numerals share the same geometric logic and weight, with open shapes in 6/9 and a rounded, balanced 8. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, and the diagonal letters (K, V, W, X, Y) keep consistent stroke weight for an even rhythm in display settings.
