A sturdy sans with geometric, round-based construction and a notably heavy, even stroke. Counters are generous and open, with smooth curves on C, O, and S and crisp, squared terminals on stems and bars. Proportions lean broad, giving letters a stable footprint; joins and diagonals (K, M, N, W) are clean and without flourish. The lowercase keeps a simple, workmanlike structure, while figures are bold and highly legible, with clear differentiation across 0–9.
Best suited to attention-forward typography such as headlines, posters, brand wordmarks, packaging, and wayfinding where bold forms and open counters support quick recognition. It can also work for short subheads and UI highlights when a strong, friendly emphasis is needed.
The overall tone is confident and contemporary, combining a friendly roundness with a no-nonsense, poster-ready presence. It reads as approachable rather than delicate, projecting clarity, strength, and modern simplicity.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver high-impact readability through geometric simplicity, broad proportions, and sturdy stroke weight, aiming for a modern, approachable voice that remains clear at a glance.
At display sizes the weight and width create strong color and a consistent rhythm across lines. The design favors clarity and impact over fine detail, with minimal modulation and straightforward forms that hold up well in dense headlines.
