A clean geometric sans with sturdy strokes, broad curves, and minimal modulation. Round letters like C, O, and G lean toward near-circular construction, while terminals are predominantly straight and crisply cut. The lowercase shows a two-storey a, a single-storey g, and generous counters that keep forms open; the e has a straightforward horizontal bar and the f and t have compact, functional shapes. Numerals are simple and clear, with open, even forms that match the letter rhythm.
Well suited to headlines, navigation/UI labels, and short-to-medium marketing copy where a strong, clean voice is needed. The open counters and straightforward numerals also support practical uses like signage, wayfinding, and dashboards where quick recognition matters.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a friendly smoothness coming from the rounded geometry. It reads confident and utilitarian rather than expressive, making it feel at home in contemporary interfaces and brand systems.
The design appears intended as a versatile, contemporary sans with geometric influence: strong shapes, restrained detailing, and dependable readability. It prioritizes clarity and consistency across letters and figures for broad everyday typographic use.
Capitals are solid and stable with squared-off joins and consistent stroke behavior; diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) are sharp and clean, balancing the rounder letters. Spacing appears relatively compact, and the heavy color makes the type stand out strongly in short phrases and headings.
