A heavy, geometric sans with rounded bowls and largely unmodulated strokes. Letterforms are compact with sturdy verticals, broad curves, and consistently large counters that keep shapes open at display sizes. Terminals are predominantly straight and clean, with minimal gesture, producing crisp silhouettes; the lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a straightforward i/j with round dots, and a tight, efficient rhythm across words. Numerals are similarly robust and simple, with clear, blocky forms and even color.
Best suited for headlines, short passages, and prominent UI or editorial callouts where strong presence and clean shapes are needed. It also works well for logos, packaging, and signage that benefit from compact geometry and high-impact letterforms.
The overall tone is modern and confident, with a friendly edge from the rounded construction. Its weight and clean geometry create a direct, no-nonsense voice suited to contemporary branding and UI-forward design.
The design appears intended as a contemporary workhorse display sans: bold enough for attention, geometric enough for a modern feel, and cleanly constructed for consistent rhythm across mixed-case text and numerals.
In text settings the font creates strong, even typographic color and compact word shapes, emphasizing clarity over nuance. The geometric construction is especially evident in circular letters like O/Q and the rounded shoulders of n/m, while diagonals (A/V/W/X/Y) remain firm and stable.
