A sturdy, geometric sans with broad proportions and clear, open counters. Strokes are largely monolinear with subtly modulated joins, and terminals read mostly straight or softly rounded rather than sharply tapered. Curves are smooth and circular in character (notably in C/O/Q and the bowls of b/p), while verticals stay crisp and stable, giving an even rhythm across text. The lowercase shows a simple, two-storey g and a clean single-storey a; spacing appears generous, supporting large, blocky word shapes and strong headline presence.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding systems that need strong presence and high legibility. The wide, open construction also works well for signage and packaging where clarity at a distance and quick recognition matter.
The overall tone is modern and confident, balancing a friendly roundness with an assertive, no-nonsense weight. It feels straightforward and functional rather than quirky, with a contemporary, editorial calm.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, highly legible sans voice with geometric simplicity and strong visual weight, optimized for impactful display typography while keeping text rhythm orderly and clean.
Numerals are robust and highly legible, with ample interior space (8/9) and simple, unambiguous forms. The uppercase set maintains consistent width and weight, and the lowercase maintains a steady texture, making paragraphs look solid and even at display sizes.
