A sturdy sans with broad proportions and round, geometric construction. Strokes are heavy and even, with smooth curves and clean terminals that read as largely squared-off rather than tapered. Counters are open and generous (notably in C, G, O, and e), and the overall rhythm is steady with ample internal space. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a simple, vertical i/j with compact dots, and a short-armed r; numerals are large and clear with rounded bowls (8) and a balanced, open-top feel across the set.
Best suited to display applications where impact and clarity are needed—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and short UI or signage phrases. It performs especially well at larger sizes where its broad shapes and open counters can be appreciated without overwhelming long-form reading.
The tone is confident and direct, with a contemporary, no-nonsense clarity. Its rounded geometry softens the heaviness, giving it an approachable, friendly presence while still feeling assertive and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, geometric sans voice with strong visual presence and reliable legibility. Its broad stance and simplified, rounded forms suggest a focus on bold communication for contemporary branding and display typography.
The sample text shows strong paragraph color at large sizes, with consistent stroke density that holds together in headlines. The wide set and open apertures help prevent clogging in dense words, though the overall weight remains visually dominant.
