A solid, geometric sans with rounded curves and a consistent, even stroke that reads as sturdy and contemporary. The overall construction leans on circular and elliptical bowls (notably in C, G, O, e, o) paired with straight-sided verticals, producing a clear, high-contrast silhouette against the page without relying on delicate details. Counters are open and roomy for the weight, terminals are clean and mostly flat, and joins remain compact and controlled. Uppercase proportions feel broad and stable, while the lowercase keeps straightforward, single-storey forms (a and g) with generous apertures and minimal modulation.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where a strong, clean presence is needed. It should also perform effectively in UI labels and signage thanks to its open counters, simple letterforms, and clear rhythm at larger and medium sizes.
The tone is modern and upbeat with a friendly, no-nonsense clarity. Its rounded geometry gives it an approachable, contemporary feel, while the heavy, steady color adds confidence and emphasis suitable for attention-grabbing text.
The design appears intended as a contemporary geometric workhorse: visually bold enough for display while maintaining simple, familiar shapes for quick recognition. The emphasis is on clarity, consistency, and an approachable modern voice rather than decorative character.
Round punctuation and dots (i/j) appear prominent, reinforcing the geometric theme. Numerals are sturdy and highly legible, with simple, direct forms that match the letters’ visual weight and spacing rhythm.
