A heavy, broad sans with rounded geometry and clean, low-modulation strokes. Letterforms are built from simple curves and straight segments with softly finished corners, producing open counters and sturdy silhouettes. The proportions are expansive and the spacing reads generous, giving the alphabet a steady, even rhythm in text. Numerals follow the same rounded, wide construction for a consistent, solid texture across mixed copy.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of copy where impact and clarity are priorities, such as posters, branding systems, packaging, and large-format signage. Its broad proportions and open shapes also help it remain readable in bold typographic layouts and emphatic UI moments like hero titles or section headers.
The overall tone is confident and contemporary, with a friendly, approachable warmth from the rounded shapes. Its wide stance and dense weight add assertiveness, making it feel energetic and highly visible without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a high-impact, general-purpose sans that prioritizes clarity and presence. Its rounded, geometric construction suggests a goal of modern neutrality with an accessible, friendly voice for contemporary display typography.
Round letters like O/C/G show smooth, nearly circular bowls, while diagonals (V/W/X) appear stable and carefully balanced at this width. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, utilitarian build with simple joins and robust terminals that stay clear at display sizes.
