A heavy, clean sans with broadly proportioned letters and smooth, geometric curves. Strokes are consistently thick with restrained contrast, and curves transition into straight segments with crisp, controlled joins. Counters are open and round, terminals are mostly flat, and the overall rhythm feels even and stable, producing strong silhouettes in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same sturdy construction, favoring clear, uncomplicated forms.
Best suited for headlines and display typography where strong presence and quick readability matter, such as posters, branding systems, signage, and packaging. It also works well for short bursts of text—taglines, labels, UI titles—where a sturdy, modern tone is desired.
The tone is confident and approachable, with a contemporary, no-nonsense presence. Its weight and generous proportions give it a bold, poster-like voice while keeping a friendly, readable character.
Likely intended as a versatile, high-impact sans that prioritizes clarity and contemporary simplicity. The broad proportions and clean geometry suggest a focus on strong display performance while maintaining enough neutrality for general-purpose branding and interface use.
The design leans on circular geometry in letters like O/C/G and maintains simple, unornamented details throughout, which helps it stay legible under tight viewing conditions. The lowercase shows a practical, modern structure with compact bowls and clear differentiation between similar shapes.
