A heavy, geometric sans with smooth, rounded curves and clean, straight terminals. The overall construction favors circular bowls (notably in O, C, G, and the lowercase o/e), paired with strong vertical stems and consistently thick strokes that read as solid blocks at display sizes. Counters are moderately open, and the forms stay compact and stable, with a straightforward rhythm and minimal modulation in stroke weight. Lowercase features include a single-storey a and g, a compact, right-leaning ear on a, and a generous, round dot on i/j.
Best suited for headlines and short-form copy where a strong, clean silhouette is desirable. It works well for modern branding, logos, packaging, and UI marketing surfaces that benefit from a friendly geometric tone and high legibility at larger sizes.
The tone is modern and upbeat, combining a friendly roundness with a confident, high-impact presence. It feels contemporary and practical rather than quirky, with a clear, no-nonsense voice that still comes across as approachable.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary geometric sans with a welcoming feel and strong visual weight, optimized for clear, punchy messaging and simple typographic systems.
The numerals follow the same geometric logic, with wide, rounded 0/8/9 and a simple, linear 1 that stays visually consistent with the letterforms. Diagonal-heavy capitals (V, W, Y) have sharp interior joins that add crispness against the otherwise rounded system.
