A sturdy geometric sans with largely monoline strokes and smoothly rounded curves balanced by crisp, squared terminals. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, with generous bowls and open apertures that keep counters clear at display sizes. The lowercase shows compact, practical construction with simple joins and minimal modulation; rounds like o/c/e stay near-circular while straight-sided letters (n/m/u) keep a consistent, even rhythm. Numerals are heavy and clear, with simple silhouettes and strong verticals suited to prominent settings.
Well suited for branding and identity work where a robust, contemporary sans is needed, and for headlines, posters, and packaging that benefit from strong presence and quick readability. The clear numerals and straightforward letterforms also make it a good choice for UI labels, navigation, and short informational text at larger sizes.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its rounded geometry and open shapes read as friendly and accessible while still feeling purposeful and contemporary.
Likely intended as a versatile, geometric workhorse for prominent typography, delivering a solid, contemporary voice with high legibility and minimal stylistic distraction.
The design favors clarity over personality-driven quirks, with consistent curvature and restrained detailing throughout. Diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are clean and sharply defined, helping maintain a crisp texture in all-caps settings.
