A geometric, rounded sans with smooth bowls and broadly even stroke weight throughout. Proportions skew slightly wide in many letters, with large circular counters (notably in O/o) and clean, open apertures that keep forms readable at display sizes. Terminals are mostly blunt and horizontal/vertical, and joins are crisp, giving the design a tidy, modern rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase.
Works especially well for headlines, UI labels, posters, and branding where a clean, contemporary voice is needed. The sturdy shapes and generous counters also suit wayfinding-style signage and short-to-medium text in marketing or editorial layouts, particularly when set at larger sizes for emphasis.
This typeface feels contemporary and confident, with a straightforward, no-nonsense tone. Its friendly roundness keeps it approachable, while the heavy color on the page adds a sense of emphasis and authority.
The design appears intended as a modern geometric sans that delivers strong visual presence without decorative complexity. Its consistent strokes and round construction prioritize clarity and uniformity, making it suitable for prominent text where quick recognition matters.
Lowercase forms show a single-storey a and g, reinforcing the geometric, contemporary character. Numerals are similarly rounded and robust, matching the overall rhythm and weight of the alphabet.
