A heavy, monoline sans with predominantly geometric construction: round forms are close to circular, and straight strokes terminate in clean, square ends. Curves are smooth and generous, with open apertures on letters like C, S, and e, supporting clarity at display sizes. Uppercase proportions feel sturdy and slightly compact, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, contemporary rhythm with round i-dots and simple, single-storey forms (notably a and g). Numerals are similarly weighty and plainspoken, with clear differentiation and broad, stable shapes.
Well-suited for headlines, branding, and marketing where a strong, clean sans is needed without feeling severe. The open shapes and straightforward forms also make it a solid option for UI labels, packaging, and short-to-medium blocks of text at larger sizes, including signage and wayfinding.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, combining a confident, poster-ready weight with a friendly softness from its rounded bowls and open counters. It reads as practical and contemporary rather than formal, with a subtle tech/brand-forward sensibility.
The design appears intended as a dependable, contemporary sans for general-purpose display and brand work—prioritizing solid presence, clean geometry, and easy recognition across letters and figures.
Diagonal letters (K, V, W, X, Y) show crisp joins and consistent stroke thickness, helping the font stay even in dense text. The Q has a clear, uncomplicated tail, and the lowercase g uses a looped form with a simple ear, reinforcing an everyday, readable character.
