A sturdy sans with rounded geometry and smooth curves paired with straight-sided verticals. Strokes are consistently heavy and even, with generous interior counters that keep forms open despite the weight. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, and joins are simple and direct, producing a stable, compact texture in text. Capitals read broad and solid, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation and straightforward construction, including a single-storey “a” and “g” with rounded bowls.
This font is well suited to headlines, branding marks, packaging, posters, and signage where a strong, legible presence is needed. It also works for UI labels and interface headings when a friendly but assertive sans is desired, particularly at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, with a pragmatic, no-nonsense voice. Its rounded construction softens the heavy weight, giving it a friendly confidence rather than an aggressive or industrial feel.
The design intention appears focused on creating a bold, contemporary workhorse sans that stays highly legible while projecting warmth and authority. Its rounded, geometric forms aim to deliver a clean visual rhythm that performs reliably in prominent, high-impact typography.
The figures follow the same robust, rounded logic as the letters, with clear shapes and ample counters that support quick recognition. Spacing appears balanced for display and short text, creating an even rhythm without sharp calligraphic modulation.
