A heavy, geometric sans with broadly rounded bowls and clear, open counters. Strokes are consistently thick with smooth curves and crisp terminals, producing a stable, even texture in text. Proportions lean broad, with generous widths in round letters and sturdy verticals; diagonals are clean and decisive. The lowercase is compact and readable, with simple two-storey forms where applicable and restrained detailing throughout.
This design is well suited to display settings where strong impact and quick recognition matter, such as headlines, brand marks, posters, and packaging. The even texture and open forms also support short paragraphs or UI callouts when set with adequate size and spacing.
The overall tone is direct and contemporary, combining a friendly roundness with a firm, assertive weight. It feels utilitarian yet approachable, giving headlines a confident presence without becoming decorative.
The font appears intended as a versatile, modern workhorse for bold communication—prioritizing clarity, geometric coherence, and a friendly but assertive voice across letters and numerals.
Spacing appears solid and controlled in the sample paragraph, creating a dark, uniform color suited to emphasis. Numerals are robust and legible, matching the letterforms’ geometric rhythm and rounded construction.
