A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and generously rounded curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, even color and a stable rhythm in lines of text. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, with smooth joins and large interior counters that keep shapes open despite the weight. The uppercase leans toward simple, built-from-arches construction, while the lowercase maintains clear, compact forms and a single-storey “a” that reinforces the geometric feel.
Best suited for headlines and display typography where its mass and wide stance can deliver impact quickly. It also fits branding and packaging systems that need a modern, friendly geometric sans with strong presence. In signage and short UI labels, it can work well at medium-to-large sizes where the open counters and simple forms stay clear.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, with a strong, no-nonsense presence. Its rounded geometry softens the heft, giving it a friendly, accessible voice rather than an aggressive one. The font reads as confident and functional, suited to modern brand and interface aesthetics.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, geometric workhorse for bold messaging: simple shapes, consistent stroke weight, and broad proportions that create immediate visibility. Rounded construction and straightforward detailing suggest an aim for versatility across modern graphic applications while keeping a warm, approachable character.
In the sample text, spacing appears comfortable for a heavy face, supporting continuous reading at larger sizes. Numerals match the letterforms’ rounded, sturdy construction, and the punctuation shown keeps the same blunt, clean finishing. The “Q” with a short diagonal tail and the compact, rounded bowls contribute to a cohesive, geometric personality.
