A heavy, monoline sans with broad proportions and an even, low-contrast stroke. Curves are smooth and near-geometric, with generous bowls and open apertures that keep forms readable at size. Terminals are mostly straight and clean, producing crisp joins and a stable baseline; round letters (O, C, G) feel full and symmetrical, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) are wide and steady. Lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, rounded i/j dots, and compact shoulders, while numerals are large, simple, and strongly weighted for clear emphasis.
Best suited to high-impact applications such as headlines, brand marks, packaging, and short UI or wayfinding strings where clarity and presence matter. It can also work for subheads and callouts in editorial layouts when a bold, friendly sans voice is desired.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, combining a friendly roundness with a solid, authoritative weight. It feels direct and utilitarian without becoming cold, making it suitable for brands that want clarity and confidence with a soft edge.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, geometric-leaning workhorse for attention-grabbing typography—prioritizing strong silhouette, simple construction, and easy readability across a wide range of display contexts.
Spacing and sidebearings read as comfortable for display use, with consistent rhythm across mixed-case text. The heavy weight and broad shapes create strong color on the page, which helps headlines pop but can reduce nuance in very small text.
