A heavy, clean sans with broadly geometric construction and rounded bowls. Curves are smooth and full, while terminals tend to be flat and decisive, creating a sturdy, no-nonsense texture. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and the overall rhythm is even, with simple, consistent stroke endings and minimal ornamentation. Numerals and caps share the same solid, blocky presence, reading clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and other short-to-medium text where strong presence and quick legibility are important. It works well for branding systems, packaging, and signage that need a modern, sturdy sans with a friendly edge.
The tone is confident and approachable, with a contemporary, workmanlike feel rather than anything delicate or formal. Its broad curves and solid mass give it an energetic, sporty voice that still stays neutral enough for general-purpose branding.
Designed to deliver a contemporary, highly legible sans for display-forward use, emphasizing simple geometric shapes, steady spacing, and a strong silhouette that holds up in bold applications.
Round letters like O/C/G show generous curvature, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are crisp and stable, contributing to a firm, poster-ready silhouette. The lowercase maintains a compact, highly legible presence with simple forms and minimal quirks.
