A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and smooth, round curvature. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, creating a solid, even color on the page. Counters are generally roomy, while many apertures lean toward closed or tightened forms, giving the face a compact, sturdy texture. Terminals are predominantly blunt, with clean joins and simplified constructions that keep curves and diagonals crisp at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a dense, impactful presence is needed. It can also work well for packaging and signage thanks to its sturdy forms and clear silhouettes, especially at medium to large sizes where the rounded geometry reads cleanly.
The overall tone is contemporary and assertive, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded bowls and circular bases. Its weight and width make it feel confident and attention-grabbing, while the restrained detailing keeps it straightforward and professional rather than playful or ornate.
Likely designed to deliver a strong, contemporary sans for display-led typography, prioritizing uniform stroke weight, geometric roundness, and high visual impact. The simplified lowercase shapes suggest an emphasis on approachability and quick recognition in branding and editorial titling.
The lowercase shows single-storey constructions (notably the a and g), reinforcing a geometric, simplified voice. Numerals and capitals share the same robust, rounded skeleton, supporting strong consistency in headings and short bursts of text.
