A heavy, geometric sans with smooth, circular construction and uniform stroke weight throughout. The forms favor broad curves and generous counters, giving letters like O, C, and G a near-monoline, rounded presence. Terminals are clean and mostly horizontal/vertical, with minimal modulation and a steady rhythm; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are robust and straightforward. Lowercase shapes read clearly with a single-storey a and g, a tall, simple t, and a clean, uncluttered i/j treatment, supporting an even texture in longer lines.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where a bold, clean voice is needed—brand marks, poster titles, packaging callouts, and prominent UI labels. Its geometric clarity and generous counters also make it effective for signage-style applications where quick recognition matters.
The overall tone is contemporary and friendly, with rounded geometry that feels approachable rather than severe. Its strong weight adds confidence and impact, while the open, simple shapes keep the voice practical and easygoing.
The design appears intended as a contemporary workhorse display sans that balances geometric neatness with friendly, rounded proportions. It prioritizes clarity and consistency across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals while maintaining a strong, modern presence.
Numerals are bold and rounded with large interior spaces, helping them stay legible at display sizes. Spacing appears comfortably open in the sample text, contributing to a smooth, readable word shape and a stable, modern typographic color.
