A heavy, wide sans with predominantly geometric construction and smoothly rounded curves. Counters are generous and apertures stay open, helping the letters remain clear even with the thick strokes. The lowercase shows a tall, sturdy presence with compact ascenders and a single-storey “a” and “g,” while forms like “o,” “e,” and “c” lean toward circular geometry. Terminals are clean and unadorned, and the overall rhythm reads steady and contemporary, with widths that vary by character rather than feeling monospaced.
It suits display settings where clarity and presence are needed—headlines, poster typography, brand marks and wordmarks, packaging, and large-format signage. The open counters and straightforward forms also make it workable for short UI labels or callouts when set with sufficient spacing.
The tone is direct and contemporary, with a friendly, accessible warmth coming from the rounded shapes and ample counters. Its broad proportions and strong color give it an assertive, attention-getting voice without feeling sharp or technical.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, geometric sans that prioritizes bold visual impact and immediate readability. Its wide proportions and rounded construction suggest an intention to feel approachable and contemporary while staying clean and functional.
Round characters (like O/0 and o) are very full and prominent, and the numerals share the same wide, sturdy proportions for a consistent typographic color in mixed text. The overall silhouette favors clarity and impact, making short words and headings feel especially solid.
