A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with minimal modulation and softly squared terminals that keep the forms crisp rather than bubbly. Counters are generally open and generously sized, supporting clarity at large and medium sizes. The uppercase reads as stable and architectural, while the lowercase keeps simple, functional construction with a single-story “g” and an overall compact, workmanlike rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, clean presence is needed. Its broad forms and open interiors also work well for short UI labels and signage, especially when legibility and impact are prioritized over delicate detail.
The tone is modern and assertive without feeling aggressive, combining robustness with a mild friendliness from its rounded geometry. It suggests practical clarity—more utilitarian than expressive—making it feel dependable and contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, contemporary sans voice with rounded geometry and high visual stability. It aims for dependable readability and strong display impact across promotional and informational contexts.
The figures share the same solid, simplified construction as the letters, with rounded bowls and straightforward joins. Overall spacing appears even and visually calm, favoring a strong silhouette and consistent texture in paragraphs and headlines.
