A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and clean, uniform stroke weight. Curves are round and even, with squared terminals that keep the overall texture crisp. Counters are open and generously sized for a bold style, and the shapes lean toward near-circular bowls (notably in C, O, and the lowercase rounds), producing a steady, even rhythm across lines. The lowercase shows straightforward, single-storey forms where expected and a compact, functional punctuation/number style with smooth curves and simple joins.
Best suited to headlines, large-scale messaging, and brand marks that need a solid, contemporary voice. It also works well for UI labels and signage where bold, high-impact letterforms and open counters help maintain legibility at a glance.
The tone is modern and self-assured, combining a friendly roundness with a direct, no-nonsense presence. It reads as contemporary and practical rather than expressive or decorative, making it feel familiar in digital and product contexts.
The design appears intended as a robust, geometric workhorse for modern communication—prioritizing clarity, even texture, and strong presence while keeping the forms approachable through rounded construction.
In text, the weight builds a strong typographic color and holds clarity through open apertures and uncomplicated interior spaces. The wide set and simple geometry create a stable, slightly spacious feel, while the squared endings prevent the design from becoming overly soft.
