A solid, geometric sans with rounded curves and clean, straight terminals. Bowls and counters are broadly open, with smooth circular construction in letters like O, C, and G, balanced by firmly cut diagonals in A, K, V, W, and Y. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, contemporary skeleton with a single-storey g, compact shoulders, and a sturdy, even rhythm. Numerals follow the same plainspoken geometry, reading clearly with minimal stylistic quirks.
Well-suited to headlines, branding, and poster work where a clean, modern presence is needed. The open counters and simple forms also make it effective for signage and short UI labels, especially when clarity at a glance is important.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, projecting clarity and steadiness rather than formality. Its roundness and simple shapes give it a friendly, utilitarian voice that still feels confident and assertive at display sizes.
The design appears intended as a versatile geometric workhorse: simple, contemporary letterforms with rounded construction that stays neutral across many contexts while remaining strong enough for attention-grabbing display use.
Spacing appears generous enough for headings, with consistent stroke endings and minimal modulation contributing to a stable texture. Punctuation and dots appear round and prominent, supporting crisp legibility in short bursts of text.
