A sturdy, geometric sans with generous proportions and smooth, round curves. Strokes appear even and firm, with clean terminals and a consistent, engineered rhythm across capitals and lowercase. Round letters (C, O, Q) read as near-circular, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) stay crisp and square-shouldered. Counters are relatively open, and the lowercase shows simple, contemporary shapes with a double-storey “a” and compact, straightforward joins.
Well-suited to headlines, short paragraphs at display sizes, and situations where clarity at a distance matters, such as signage and wayfinding. The robust forms also fit branding systems, packaging, and UI labels where a clean, contemporary voice is needed.
The overall tone is modern and pragmatic, with a friendly clarity that still feels assertive. Its broad, stable shapes communicate confidence and legibility rather than delicacy or ornament.
Designed to deliver a straightforward, contemporary sans look with strong presence and reliable readability. The emphasis appears to be on geometric simplicity, consistent stroke color, and an approachable neutrality that works across many modern design contexts.
The sample text shows strong word-shape presence at larger sizes, with clear differentiation in key forms like G, Q, and the numerals. Curved letters maintain smooth continuity, and the spacing feels even, supporting a solid, blocky texture in paragraphs.
