A sturdy sans with broad proportions and smooth, near-monolinear strokes. Curves are clean and rounded, with open apertures and generous counters that keep the forms readable at a range of sizes. Terminals are mostly straight-cut, and the overall construction leans geometric without feeling rigid, balancing circular bowls with pragmatic joins. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and compact extenders, producing an even, dense color in text.
Well-suited to bold headlines, brand wordmarks, posters, and packaging where a solid, contemporary presence is needed. The open shapes and even texture also work for short UI labels, navigation, and signage, particularly when high contrast against the background is important.
The tone is modern and direct, with a confident weight that reads as dependable and straightforward. Its rounded geometry adds a mild friendliness, while the overall rhythm stays neutral and functional rather than expressive or decorative.
Designed to deliver a clean, modern sans voice with strong impact, prioritizing clarity and consistency across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. The aim appears to be a practical, geometric foundation that remains approachable through rounded forms and open internal space.
In the samples, the heavy texture and broad letterforms create strong emphasis and clear hierarchy, especially in headings. Numerals follow the same sturdy, rounded logic, with simple silhouettes that prioritize quick recognition over stylization.
