A sturdy geometric sans with thick, even strokes and rounded bowls that keep forms smooth and consistent. Uppercase letters read as compact and stable, with broad curves (C, G, O) and simplified, straight-sided construction in forms like E, F, H, and N. The lowercase is compact with a relatively low x-height and simple, utilitarian joins; counters stay open and the overall rhythm is tight and efficient. Numerals are heavy and clear, with straightforward silhouettes and minimal detail, prioritizing quick recognition at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, brand marks, posters, and packaging where a strong, clean voice is needed. The compact lowercase and heavy weight also work well for signage and interface labels that benefit from simple forms and high contrast against the background.
The tone is modern and approachable, combining a no-nonsense clarity with a slightly friendly softness from the rounded geometry. It feels confident and solid rather than delicate, projecting reliability and directness in headlines and short text.
The design appears intended to deliver an efficient, contemporary sans presence with geometric roundness and sturdy stroke weight, emphasizing clarity and impact for display-led typography.
Circular characters maintain a consistent weight and curvature, giving the design a cohesive, engineered feel. Diacritics aren’t shown, but the base glyphs suggest a focus on clear, compact shapes and dependable readability in bold settings.
