A heavy, rounded sans with monoline strokes and softly squared terminals. The shapes lean toward geometric construction but with gentle corner rounding that keeps counters open and prevents harsh joins. Proportions feel compact and efficient, with a notably tall x-height and short ascenders/descenders, producing a dense, even texture in text. Curves are smooth and consistent across letters and numerals, and the overall rhythm is steady and highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, short phrases, and prominent UI or product labeling where a bold, friendly sans needs to stay readable at a glance. It can also work for subheads and callouts in editorial or marketing layouts, especially where compact line breaks and strong color on the page are desired.
The tone is contemporary and straightforward, with a friendly softness that tempers the weight. It reads confident and practical rather than formal, making it feel approachable and serviceable in modern brand and interface contexts.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary, high-impact sans that remains approachable through rounded geometry and open counters. The tall x-height and compact vertical proportions suggest an emphasis on clarity and efficient space use in modern display and interface-forward applications.
Round letters like O/C/G are broad and stable, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are clean and sturdy, reinforcing a strong, graphic presence. Numerals are similarly robust and simplified, matching the same rounded, utilitarian construction for cohesive mixed text.
