A sturdy sans with rounded, geometric construction and even stroke weight throughout. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, while terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, producing crisp joins and a stable silhouette. Proportions feel balanced and contemporary, with wide, open bowls and counters (notably in C, O, e, and g) that keep forms clear at display and UI sizes. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a compact, minimal-shouldered r, and a straightforward t with a short crossbar; numerals are rounded and consistent, with a simple, legible 1 and open, flowing 2 and 3.
Well-suited for branding and wordmarks that need a bold, friendly presence, as well as headlines and subheads where rounded geometry adds warmth without sacrificing clarity. The open counters and steady rhythm also make it effective for UI labels, navigation, and short informational text, and it can hold up well in signage and packaging where quick recognition matters.
The overall tone is modern and friendly, combining geometric clarity with softened curves. Its heavy, steady rhythm reads confident and practical rather than playful, giving it an approachable but businesslike voice.
Designed to deliver a modern geometric sans feel with softened, rounded forms, prioritizing clarity and a confident, approachable presence. The simplified lowercase structures and open internal spaces suggest an emphasis on clean reproduction across screen and print contexts.
Spacing and sidebearings appear generous, helping the dense weight avoid looking cramped in text lines. Diagonal letters (V, W, X, Y) maintain strong symmetry and consistent stroke joins, and the Q uses a short, unobtrusive tail that preserves the round form.
