A wide, rounded sans with predominantly geometric construction and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes remain even throughout, with gently softened joins and terminals that read clean rather than sharp. Counters are large and open, and the overall proportions feel expanded horizontally, giving letters a broad footprint and steady rhythm. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably the a and g), reinforcing a straightforward, contemporary structure, while figures are clear and sturdy with ample interior space.
Best suited to display-oriented typography where width and presence are assets, such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand wordmarks. The open counters and clean forms also make it a good option for UI labels, navigation, and large-format signage where quick recognition matters.
The tone is modern and approachable, combining a clean, engineered clarity with friendly roundness. Its broad proportions add a confident, declarative feel, while the soft geometry keeps it from feeling harsh or overly formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, geometric sans voice with extra horizontal presence—prioritizing legibility, clean shapes, and a friendly neutrality for modern branding and display communication.
Round letters (like O and C) appear close to circular, and curved joins are handled smoothly, which helps maintain consistent texture in text. The sample text shows an even color and stable spacing at larger sizes, with shapes that stay distinct despite the expanded width.
