A heavy, geometric sans with largely monoline construction and broad, rounded curves. Counters are open and clean, with smooth joins and minimal modulation, giving the letterforms a solid, even rhythm. Terminals are predominantly straight-cut, while circular forms (O, C, G, 0) lean toward near-elliptical geometry; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are sturdy and stable rather than sharp. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a simple i/j with round dots, and a compact t with a short crossbar, all contributing to a straightforward, contemporary texture in text.
Well-suited for headlines, display typography, and short blocks of copy where strong presence and quick recognition are needed. It should perform well in branding and packaging systems that benefit from a modern, geometric sans, as well as signage and UI callouts where clarity and impact are priorities.
The overall tone is confident and contemporary, with a friendly edge from the rounded geometry and generous, uncluttered counters. It reads as practical and direct, designed to feel clear and dependable rather than decorative or expressive.
The design appears intended as a contemporary workhorse sans that prioritizes clarity, consistency, and visual punch. Its geometric foundations and simplified lowercase forms suggest a focus on efficient readability and a clean, modern identity across prominent typographic applications.
In the sample text, the dense strokes create strong word shapes and prominent emphasis, making the design particularly effective at large sizes. Numerals are simple and sturdy; the 0 is a clean oval and the 8 is balanced and symmetrical, reinforcing the geometric, no-nonsense voice.
