A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and generous, rounded bowls. Strokes are consistently thick with smooth curve-to-stem transitions and minimal modulation, giving the letters a solid, even color on the page. Counters are open and largely circular/elliptical, while terminals are mostly flat or softly eased, avoiding any sharp calligraphic cues. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g), a compact, sturdy rhythm, and wide sidebearings that support large, legible set text and impactful headlines.
Best suited to display-driven work such as headlines, brand marks, packaging, and bold editorial titling where width and weight can create presence. It also fits clear, high-impact signage and UI hero text where strong shapes and open counters help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is contemporary and straightforward, with an approachable friendliness coming from the round construction and soft joins. Its weight and width add assertiveness, making it feel confident and slightly industrial while still remaining clean and neutral enough for general branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, contemporary sans voice with geometric clarity and friendly roundness. Its wide stance and sturdy construction emphasize visibility and brand impact while keeping forms simple and consistent for versatile display use.
Letterforms favor simple geometry: circular O/o, broad C/G, and a squat, stable S. The Q’s short tail and the generous apertures in letters like e and c keep shapes readable at display sizes. Numerals are robust and rounded, matching the alphabet’s wide, even texture.
