A heavy, rounded sans with geometric construction and largely uniform stroke weight. Curves are smooth and circular with open, generous counters, while terminals are clean and mostly flat, creating a crisp silhouette despite the soft rounding. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short ascenders/descenders, and the overall spacing reads even and steady in text. Numerals are sturdy and legible with simple, contemporary forms.
Best suited for bold headlines, brand marks, packaging, and poster typography where strong presence and clear forms are needed. Its tall x-height and open counters also support UI labels, navigation, and signage applications where quick readability matters.
The overall tone is modern and straightforward with a friendly warmth from the rounded geometry. It feels confident and utilitarian rather than decorative, projecting clarity and approachability in both short headlines and longer statements.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary geometric voice with high legibility and strong impact, balancing clean industrial structure with rounded softness for an approachable, general-purpose display and interface feel.
Uppercase forms are broad and stable, with diagonals and joins kept simple and sturdy. The lowercase maintains a consistent rhythm line-to-line, and the punctuation and dots (e.g., i/j) appear round and prominent, reinforcing the geometric character.
