A sturdy sans with geometric construction and rounded bowls, showing largely uniform stroke thickness and clean, straight terminals. Curves are smooth and circular, with generous internal counters that keep forms open at display sizes. Uppercase proportions are broad and stable, while lowercase shapes maintain a simple, contemporary rhythm with clear joins and minimal modulation. Numerals match the overall weight and geometry, reading solid and even in a line of text.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, and prominent UI or product messaging where a clear, confident sans is needed. The bold, open shapes also work well for branding, packaging, and signage applications that benefit from strong visibility and a contemporary, friendly feel.
The overall tone is modern and straightforward, with a friendly, approachable softness coming from the rounded forms. Its heavy, even strokes feel confident and utilitarian rather than expressive, giving it a dependable, contemporary voice.
The letterforms suggest an intention to provide a modern, geometric sans that stays highly legible and visually steady while delivering strong impact. Rounded construction and open counters appear chosen to keep the tone approachable even at heavy weights.
The design leans toward geometric consistency across bowls and rounds, producing a calm texture in setting. The sample text shows strong presence and legibility at large sizes, where the open interiors and simple construction keep words from looking cramped.
