A sturdy, geometric sans with broad circular forms and an even, dense stroke presence. Curves are smooth and round (notably in C, O, Q, and lowercase o), while straight strokes remain firm and squared, producing a clean, contemporary rhythm. Terminals are predominantly blunt with minimal modulation, and counters are relatively open, aiding clarity at display and larger text sizes. The lowercase uses a single-storey a and a compact, rounded e; the g is single-storey with a simple loop, reinforcing a straightforward, geometric construction. Numerals are heavy and stable, with clear silhouettes and wide, legible bowls.
Well-suited to headlines, marketing copy, and brand identities that need a clear, contemporary voice with strong presence. Its sturdy shapes and open counters also make it a good candidate for signage and packaging where quick recognition matters.
The overall tone reads modern and dependable, with a friendly softness from the circular geometry balanced by assertive weight. It feels practical and contemporary rather than decorative, projecting clarity, confidence, and straightforward communication.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, versatile sans with geometric roundness and strong visual impact. The emphasis appears to be on clean construction, straightforward letterforms, and high legibility for prominent use in display and brand-driven contexts.
Capitals are tall and blocky with generous internal space in letters like B and P, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) are crisp and give the face a lively, forward-moving texture. The Q has a clear tail and the J descends with a solid hook, adding distinctiveness without breaking the clean system.
