A heavy, clean sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded curve transitions. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing solid color and clear letterforms at display sizes. Round characters like O and Q are near-circular with generous counters, while straighter forms (E, F, H, N) keep crisp, squared terminals. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, compact shoulders on n/m, and an overall even rhythm with open apertures that maintain clarity in dense text.
Best suited for attention-forward settings such as headlines, posters, and brand identities where strong presence and quick recognition matter. The open counters and broad forms also support short UI labels, signage, and packaging copy where clarity at a glance is important.
The tone is straightforward and contemporary, balancing a friendly softness from the rounded curves with a confident, assertive weight. It feels practical and approachable rather than ornamental, with a purposeful, no-nonsense presence.
The design appears intended as a versatile, high-impact sans that prioritizes readability and a contemporary voice. Its broad proportions and simplified, open shapes suggest a focus on clear communication and strong visual emphasis across display and short-text applications.
Numbers are sturdy and highly readable, with simplified shapes and wide interiors that match the bold text color. The ampersand and punctuation in the sample read clearly and share the same robust, streamlined construction.
