A rounded, geometric sans with a pronounced right-leaning slant and an airy, open construction. Strokes stay clean and even throughout, with softly curved terminals and generous internal counters that keep forms clear at display sizes. Round letters (O, C, G, Q) feel near-circular, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) remain simple and uncluttered, producing a smooth, contemporary rhythm. The overall width is expansive, giving the alphabet a relaxed horizontal spread and a spacious texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, short paragraphs, and brand-facing text where its wide stance and slanted energy can be part of the voice. It works well for posters, packaging, lifestyle editorial, and digital hero text, especially where a friendly, modern tone is desired.
The combination of wide proportions, soft curves, and a gentle slant reads friendly and informal rather than corporate. It suggests a contemporary, upbeat tone—approachable and slightly playful—without tipping into novelty.
This design appears aimed at delivering a clean geometric sans that feels warmer and more expressive through width and slant, while maintaining simple, highly legible shapes. The intent seems to be a contemporary, approachable display workhorse that stays smooth and consistent across letters and numerals.
Letterforms show consistent curvature and spacing that favors openness, with a single-storey feel in the lowercase and rounded bowls that keep the texture flowing. Numerals follow the same soft geometry, with curvy 2/3/5 and open, rounded 0/8 that match the letterforms closely.
