A sturdy, geometric sans with large, round counters and smooth, continuous curves paired with straight-sided stems. Stroke endings are clean and mostly square, while curves stay broadly circular, producing an even, steady color in text. Capitals are wide and simple with generous interior space; the lowercase shows a compact, workmanlike construction with a single‑storey a and g, a straight, minimal r, and a simple, crossbarred t. Figures are clear and contemporary with consistent stroke weight and rounded forms that sit firmly on the baseline.
Well-suited to headlines, interface labels, wayfinding, and marketing copy where strong presence and quick legibility are priorities. It can also serve as a straightforward brand sans for wordmarks and packaging, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is modern and no-nonsense, with a friendly approachability created by its round forms and open counters. It reads as confident and utilitarian rather than decorative, projecting clarity and directness in headings and short blocks of copy.
The design appears intended as a dependable, contemporary sans that emphasizes clarity through geometric construction, open counters, and a steady texture. Its simplified lowercase shapes suggest a focus on practical readability and consistent performance across display and text-like settings.
Round letters like O/C/G/Q maintain a consistent circular logic, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are crisp and stable without feeling sharp or brittle. Spacing appears comfortably open in the sample text, supporting fast scanning and strong word shapes.
