This is a sturdy sans with even stroke weight and a largely geometric construction. Round letters are close to circular with smooth curves, while straight-sided forms keep clean, squared-off terminals. Proportions are generous and slightly expanded, with wide counters and open apertures that keep interior spaces clear. The lowercase shows simple, workmanlike shapes with a double-storey “a,” a single-storey “g,” and round dots on “i/j,” maintaining a consistent, uncluttered rhythm across text.
It performs especially well in display settings such as headlines, posters, and signage where its broad proportions and strong silhouettes can carry from a distance. The clean, open letterforms also suit branding and interface text where clarity and a contemporary voice are needed.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its broad shapes and open spacing read as friendly and direct rather than delicate or formal, making it feel contemporary and utilitarian in a good way.
The design appears intended as a versatile, contemporary sans that prioritizes clarity and visual solidity. Its geometric curves, open counters, and restrained detailing suggest a focus on dependable readability across both attention-grabbing titles and straightforward text.
Numbers follow the same geometric logic, with rounded bowls and straightforward joins that match the letterforms. The uppercase has a stable, sign-like clarity, while the lowercase remains highly legible at paragraph sizes due to the open counters and simple detailing.
