A sturdy sans with broad proportions and a clean, low-contrast construction. Curves are smooth and close to circular, with generous counters and open apertures that keep forms clear at text sizes. Terminals are mostly straight and blunt, and joins feel firm rather than calligraphic, creating an even, contemporary rhythm. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and compact ascenders/descenders, while the overall spacing reads orderly and consistent in both the grid and paragraph sample.
Performs well in UI and product typography where clarity and sturdy presence are needed, and it also scales effectively for headlines and short-display work. The open forms and consistent weight make it suitable for wayfinding and signage, while the rounded geometric feel can support contemporary branding and marketing layouts.
The tone is contemporary and approachable, balancing a friendly roundness with a no-nonsense, utilitarian clarity. Its confident weight and open shapes give it a straightforward, communicative voice suited to everyday interfaces and messaging.
Designed to deliver modern, highly legible sans-serif typography with a friendly geometric character. The emphasis appears to be on clear silhouettes, open counters, and consistent rhythm for dependable reading across sizes and contexts.
Round letters like O and Q appear very smooth and stable, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) keep a crisp, engineered feel without sharp stylistic quirks. Numerals are simple and readable, matching the letterforms in weight and curvature for a cohesive set.
