A compact sans with sturdy, uniform strokes and broadly rounded bowls. Curves are smooth and circular while terminals are mostly straight and squared-off, giving a crisp, engineered finish. Proportions are tight with short extenders and generous interior counters for the weight, producing clear silhouettes and steady word texture. Figures are simple and robust, matching the letterforms in stroke strength and overall width.
Best suited to display sizes where its compact proportions and strong weight can create impactful headlines, labels, and brand marks. It can also work for short bursts of copy—such as UI headings, signage, and packaging callouts—where bold clarity and a controlled footprint are beneficial.
The overall tone feels modern and dependable, with a straightforward, no-nonsense voice. Rounded forms soften the heaviness, adding approachability without becoming playful. It reads as practical and confident, suited to clear communication rather than ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact legibility in a compact, contemporary sans, balancing geometric roundness with firm, straight terminals. It prioritizes clear shapes and consistent rhythm for assertive display typography across modern communication contexts.
The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably the a and g), reinforcing a contemporary, streamlined character. Uppercase shapes stay geometric and consistent, and the numerals appear built to align visually with caps in presence and weight.
