A sturdy sans with predominantly geometric construction and smooth, rounded curves balanced by straight-sided strokes. The lowercase shows a notably large x-height with compact ascenders/descenders, giving a dense, efficient texture in paragraphs. Terminals are clean and blunt, with minimal modulation, while bowls and counters are open enough to keep forms clear at display sizes. Overall spacing and proportions feel even and stable, producing a strong, blocky rhythm without becoming condensed.
Best suited for headlines, branding, packaging, and signage where a strong, clean voice is needed. It also works well for short blocks of text, captions, and interface-style labeling when you want a contemporary, high-impact sans that remains legible at a glance.
The tone is contemporary and approachable, combining a friendly roundness with assertive weight and presence. It reads as practical and no-nonsense, but not cold—suited to clear communication that still feels inviting.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, versatile sans optimized for visibility and confidence, pairing geometric simplicity with friendly rounding. Its large lowercase presence suggests an emphasis on legibility and impact in everyday, communication-focused design.
Round characters like O/C/G and the numerals lean toward circular geometry, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) are crisp and decisive. The lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, and the numerals appear designed for punchy, quick recognition in headlines and UI-like contexts.
