A compact, geometric sans with sturdy strokes and rounded bowls that read as clean circles and soft rectangles. Curves are smooth and even, joins are uncomplicated, and terminals are mostly straight with minimal tapering, producing a solid, contemporary rhythm. Uppercase forms are broad and stable (notably the round O/C and open G), while lowercase maintains simple construction with a single-storey a and g, a round dot on i/j, and a short-armed t, giving the text a cohesive, straightforward texture.
It performs best where a strong, clean voice is needed—headlines, brand marks, posters, and packaging. The compact geometry and consistent shapes also suit UI labels, navigation, and signage-style applications where quick recognition is important.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, balancing neutrality with a friendly roundness. Its dense, sturdy forms convey confidence and clarity, making it feel practical rather than decorative.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, all-purpose geometric sans that prioritizes clarity and consistency while keeping a friendly, rounded character for broad everyday use.
Numerals are clear and robust, with a simple 1 and a rounded 0 that matches the letterforms. Counters stay open at display sizes, and the compact proportions create strong color and presence in headlines and short blocks of copy.
