A heavy, geometric sans with broad, rounded bowls and clean, largely uniform strokes. Curves are drawn with near-circular logic (notably in O, C, G, and 8), while verticals and horizontals stay crisp with minimal modulation. Proportions feel slightly compact in the lowercase, with a sturdy rhythm and generous internal counters that keep forms open at display sizes. The lowercase a is single-storey and the g is single-storey with a simple ear; terminals are mostly blunt, contributing to a solid, contemporary texture. Numerals are similarly constructed, with a rounded 0 and a strong, uncomplicated 1 that reads clearly in bold settings.
Best suited for headlines and short-to-medium display copy where its weight and open shapes stay highly legible. It works well for branding, packaging, posters, and signage that benefit from a contemporary, friendly geometric sans with strong impact.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, projecting confidence without feeling aggressive. Its round construction and open counters give it a friendly, contemporary voice suited to clear, direct messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, modern sans with geometric consistency and high readability at larger sizes. It prioritizes bold presence and simple, rounded construction for clear communication and brand-forward typography.
Uppercase forms are broad and stable, with a circular O and a G that uses a simple horizontal bar, reinforcing the geometric system. Diagonals (A, V, W, Y, X) are clean and sharp, balancing the softer curves elsewhere and maintaining a strong visual presence in headlines.
