A geometric sans with consistent, even stroke weight and a clean, open rhythm. The design leans heavily on circular geometry: many bowls and counters are near-perfect rounds, and several letters incorporate a distinctive “bullseye” motif (a dot centered within a circular counter), most visible in forms like O/Q and several lowercase rounds. Terminals are generally crisp with subtle rounding, while joins in letters such as n, m, h, and u create small notch-like transitions that read as deliberate cut-ins. Proportions are straightforward and modern, with simple, single-storey lowercase a and g and unembellished numerals that match the same circular logic.
Best suited to branding and display typography where its circular “target” counters can read clearly and contribute to a recognizable identity. It works well for headlines, posters, packaging, and logotypes—particularly in tech, creative, or playful contexts where a slightly unconventional sans is desirable.
The repeated target-like counters give the face a playful, slightly sci‑fi personality, evoking interface graphics and wayfinding symbols. Despite the quirky internal detailing, the overall tone stays restrained and modern thanks to the monoline construction and uncluttered silhouettes.
The design appears intended to take a neutral geometric sans skeleton and introduce a single, memorable graphic device—centered dots in circular counters—turning familiar letterforms into a distinctive, system-like visual language. The result balances modern utility with a signature motif aimed at easy brand recognition.
The bullseye counters become a strong identifying feature in running text, especially where multiple round letters cluster. This adds character at display sizes, but also creates a pronounced pattern that can dominate the texture of paragraphs.
