A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and smooth, even strokes. Curves are generously circular (notably in C, O, Q, and the bowls of b/p), with squared-off terminals that keep the silhouettes crisp. Counters are open and fairly large for the weight, supporting legibility, while joins are compact and sturdy in letters like n, m, and k. The lowercase follows a single-story a and g, with a clean, simplified construction and minimal modulation across shapes. Numerals are similarly solid and straightforward, with ample width and consistent vertical stress.
Best suited to high-impact applications such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where strong presence and clean shapes are needed. The open counters and simple letterforms also help it hold up in short UI labels, wayfinding, and other bold, attention-forward settings.
The overall tone is direct and contemporary, balancing friendliness from its rounded geometry with assertiveness from its dense color. It reads as approachable and practical rather than delicate or expressive, making a confident, no-nonsense impression.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, modern sans voice with rounded geometry that stays friendly while remaining highly legible and graphic. Its simplified lowercase and consistent stroke treatment suggest a focus on clarity, scalability, and dependable performance in contemporary display typography.
Spacing appears comfortable at display sizes, with smooth rhythm across uppercase and a consistent, engineered feel across the lowercase. The Q’s tail is restrained and integrated, and punctuation-like details (such as i/j dots) are compact and tidy, reinforcing the utilitarian, modern character.
