A solid, geometric sans with uniform stroke weight and softly rounded curves throughout. Bowls and counters are spacious and largely circular, while terminals tend to finish cleanly without flaring or ornament. Uppercase forms are straightforward and stable, with wide, open shapes (notably in C, G, O, and S) and simple joins. Lowercase is compact and clear, with a single-storey a and g and a short-armed r; apertures remain open and the overall rhythm reads even and steady. Numerals are similarly robust and round, with simple, readable forms and minimal interior detailing.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short bursts of copy where a strong, clean presence is needed. It also works well for branding systems, signage, and packaging that benefit from high legibility and geometric simplicity.
The tone is contemporary and no-nonsense, projecting clarity and approachability rather than elegance or expressiveness. Its rounded geometry gives it a friendly, accessible feel, while the heavy color and even rhythm make it feel confident and direct.
The design appears intended as a dependable, contemporary workhorse sans with a geometric underpinning—built to read quickly, reproduce cleanly, and deliver a bold, modern voice across display and interface-style applications.
The letterforms favor generous curves over sharp corners, producing a smooth texture in words and strong silhouette recognition at larger sizes. Counters stay open and the shapes avoid fussy modulation, helping the text hold together as a dense, cohesive block when set in headlines.
