A heavy, geometric sans with broad, round counters and smooth circular bowls, paired with straight-sided verticals and crisp joins. Proportions feel compact and stable, with a slightly tight rhythm and sturdy stems that keep interior spaces open even at smaller sizes. Terminals are clean and largely squared-off, while curves are generously rounded, creating a clear circle-and-rectangle construction. The overall texture is even and solid, with consistent stroke thickness and minimal optical fuss.
Well suited to headlines, short editorial callouts, and brand wordmarks where a bold, geometric presence is desirable. It also works effectively for UI labels, navigation, and signage-style applications thanks to its clear forms and open counters, though extended text will benefit from generous leading and tracking.
The font reads as friendly and contemporary, projecting confidence without feeling aggressive. Its rounded geometry and open counters give it an approachable, user-facing tone that fits modern product and editorial environments.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, geometric voice with high impact and straightforward readability. Its construction favors clean, round forms and consistent weight to create a dependable, contemporary workhorse for display and interface-forward typography.
Distinctive shapes include a simple, single-storey “a” and “g,” a high-clarity numeral set with rounded forms, and a generally wide, open treatment of bowls that supports legibility in dense settings. The strong weight produces a dark color on the page, making spacing and line breaks important for comfortable reading in longer passages.
