A heavy, monoline sans with geometric construction and rounded curves paired with crisp terminals. Counters are generous and mostly circular, with smooth, even stroke weight and minimal modulation. The design shows a stable, upright stance, broad proportions, and clear internal spacing; joins are clean and the overall rhythm is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. Lowercase forms lean toward single-storey simplicity (notably the a and g), supporting a contemporary, utilitarian look.
Best suited to display settings where strong presence and fast recognition are needed, such as headlines, posters, wayfinding, and bold UI/marketing callouts. The even strokes and open counters also help in short text blocks, labels, and brand systems where a clean, geometric voice is desired.
The tone is modern and approachable, with a confident, no-nonsense weight that still reads friendly due to its rounded geometry. It feels contemporary and practical rather than decorative, projecting clarity and directness in headlines and short bursts of text.
The design appears intended to provide a contemporary geometric sans with strong impact and high legibility, balancing sturdy stroke weight with friendly roundness for versatile, brand-forward display typography.
The lowercase uses simple, highly legible constructions with open shapes and clear separation between similar forms. Figures appear sturdy and highly visible, matching the overall visual mass of the alphabet for cohesive typographic color.
