A sturdy sans with a largely geometric skeleton and generously rounded bowls. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal modulation and crisp, squared terminals that keep counters open and shapes stable. Uppercase forms read compact and deliberate (notably the broad, circular O/Q), while the lowercase shows simple, utilitarian constructions with a single-storey a and g and a compact, upright rhythm. Spacing feels straightforward and slightly tight in the sample text, supporting dense setting without losing clarity.
Well-suited to headlines, brand wordmarks, posters, and other situations where strong presence and quick readability are needed. It also works for UI labels and signage-style messaging where clarity and compact setting are priorities, while remaining usable for short paragraphs or product copy when line length and spacing are managed.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Rounded curves soften the weight, giving it a friendly, contemporary feel that still reads as practical and professional rather than playful.
The design appears intended as a versatile, contemporary workhorse sans: geometric and clean, but with enough rounding to feel approachable. Its emphasis on solid shapes, open counters, and straightforward letterforms suggests a focus on legibility and dependable performance across display and general text use.
Distinctive cues include the clear, curved tail on Q, a plain, readable set of numerals, and a simple, unembellished lowercase that prioritizes clarity over characterful quirks. The large x-height and open apertures help maintain legibility at smaller sizes, while the weight makes it naturally attention-getting in display settings.
