A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and large internal counters. Curves are built from near-circular bowls with smooth joins, while terminals are predominantly flat and clean, giving the letterforms a firm, blocky finish. Strokes are low-contrast with consistent weight, and spacing is generous enough to keep dense shapes open at larger sizes. The lowercase shows single-storey a and g, short-to-moderate ascenders, and a straightforward, highly regular rhythm across words and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, logotypes, and display settings where strong presence and quick legibility are important. It works well for branding systems, posters, packaging, and signage, especially when a clean geometric look is desired. In longer text, it will read as bold and attention-forward, making it more appropriate for short bursts than extended paragraphs.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded geometry. It feels direct and uncomplicated, prioritizing clarity and impact over delicacy. The visual voice suits bold messaging that should read quickly and confidently.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern geometric sans voice with maximum impact, keeping shapes simple, counters open, and details minimal to remain clear at a range of large display sizes. The single-storey lowercase forms and rounded construction suggest an aim toward approachable, contemporary branding rather than formal or editorial typography.
Round letters like O, Q, and 0 maintain a stable, symmetrical feel, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are wide and strong, reinforcing a sturdy texture in headlines. Dots and punctuation appear simple and solid, matching the weight and preventing sparkle or sharpness.
