A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded curves paired with crisp horizontal and vertical terminals. Stroke weight is consistent throughout, with large counters and generally open apertures that keep forms clear at display sizes. The lowercase shows single‑storey a and g, a circular i/j dot, and a compact, sturdy rhythm; the uppercase is wide and stable with simple, unembellished construction. Numerals are similarly weighty and rounded, designed to sit evenly with the text and maintain strong presence.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium blocks of text where a strong, modern presence is needed. It performs well in branding, posters, and packaging thanks to its wide stance and clean geometry, and it should remain clear in signage and UI display contexts where quick recognition matters.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, projecting clarity and confidence without feeling sterile. Its rounded geometry and generous internal space give it a friendly, accessible voice while still reading as contemporary and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, geometric workhorse for impactful display typography—prioritizing clarity, even color, and approachable rounded forms that hold up at large sizes.
Diagonal joins (notably in V/W/X/Y) are sharply resolved, giving the font a crisp edge despite the rounded overall forms. Spacing appears comfortable and consistent in the text sample, supporting dense, large-scale setting without clogging.
