A heavy, clean sans with rounded geometry and broadly uniform strokes. The design favors open counters and smooth curves, with terminals that read as neatly cut rather than calligraphic. Proportions are generous and horizontally expansive, giving letters like O/C/G and the numerals a broad, stable footprint. The lowercase uses straightforward, single-story forms (notably a and g), and the overall rhythm is even and dense, optimized for strong presence in large text.
Best suited to display sizes where its broad proportions and heavy strokes can project clearly, such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and wayfinding. It also works well for short UI labels and dashboards where a strong, high-contrast silhouette (in shape, not stroke contrast) aids quick scanning.
The tone is direct and contemporary, with a friendly neutrality that feels practical rather than expressive. Its weight and wide set convey confidence and solidity, lending a dependable, no-nonsense voice to headlines and interface labeling.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, geometric sans voice with maximum impact and legibility, prioritizing simple construction, open counters, and consistent rhythm for prominent typographic roles.
Round letters stay close to true circular forms, while joins and shoulders (as in n/m/r) are simplified for clarity. Numerals are bold and highly legible, with clear differentiation among shapes and ample interior space for forms like 8 and 9.
