A sturdy sans with rounded, geometric construction and smooth, even curves. Strokes are heavy and consistent, with gently softened joins and terminals that keep shapes from feeling sharp. Counters are open and fairly large for the weight, helping letters like C, e, and a stay readable, while bowls (O, o, p, b) read as near-circular forms. Proportions are straightforward and slightly wide in key rounds, and the overall rhythm is steady and uncluttered across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Performs best in display and short-to-medium text settings where a strong, friendly sans is needed—headlines, brand marks, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics. Its open shapes and steady spacing also work well for interface labels and signage where quick recognition matters.
The tone is contemporary and approachable, combining a friendly roundness with a confident, headline-ready presence. It feels straightforward and pragmatic rather than quirky, making it suitable for brands that want to project clarity and warmth without looking informal.
Designed to deliver a clean, modern sans voice with softened geometry: strong presence, easy readability, and a broadly useful character for contemporary branding and editorial display.
The uppercase set leans on simple geometric silhouettes, while the lowercase maintains clear distinctions between similar forms (e.g., i/l/1) through straightforward shapes and spacing. Numerals are bold and compact, with rounded forms that match the letter bowls, supporting consistent texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
