A rounded geometric sans with substantial stroke weight and smooth, open curves. Forms lean on near-circular bowls and generous counters, paired with simplified, straight-sided stems that keep the texture even in text. Terminals are clean and softly finished, and joins stay minimal and crisp, giving letters a tidy, constructed feel rather than a calligraphic one. Uppercase has strong, stable silhouettes, while lowercase stays compact with small extenders and a relatively low x-height, supporting dense set text without looking cramped.
Works well for headlines and short-to-medium blocks of copy where a bold, friendly voice is desired. It’s a strong fit for branding, packaging, and posters that benefit from rounded geometry and high impact. The steady stroke behavior and clear shapes also make it suitable for UI labels and marketing graphics when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is friendly and contemporary, with a subtly playful character coming from the roundness and softened endings. It feels approachable and upbeat rather than formal, suitable for brands and interfaces that want clarity with warmth.
Likely designed to provide a modern, geometric sans that balances assertive weight with approachable softness. The consistent round construction and simplified details suggest an emphasis on clarity, recognizability, and a contemporary brand-ready texture.
The design reads especially well at larger sizes where the circular construction and broad apertures become more evident. Numerals appear sturdy and legible with simple, rounded forms that match the alphabet’s geometry.
