A sturdy sans with broad proportions and a strong, even color on the page. Forms are built from simple geometry—round bowls, straight stems, and mostly squared terminals—with smooth curves and minimal modulation. Counters are open and generously sized for the weight, and curves (O, C, G) read as clean ellipses. The lowercase shows single-storey a and g, with short, pragmatic joins and a compact, workmanlike rhythm. Numerals are heavy and clear, with an oval 0 and a simple, angular 1.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where bold, uncomplicated letterforms need to read quickly. It also fits signage and packaging that benefit from high visual presence and robust, simplified shapes, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is confident and no-nonsense, with a friendly, contemporary neutrality. Its sturdy shapes and smooth curves give it an approachable, practical feel rather than a delicate or ornamental one.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, geometric sans voice with strong emphasis and easy recognition. It prioritizes solid massing, open counters, and straightforward construction for reliable display readability.
Spacing appears comfortable at display sizes, producing a solid typographic block with little sparkle and a consistent baseline presence. Diacritics and punctuation aren’t shown, but the core alphabet and figures suggest a design optimized for strong impact and clarity.
