A rounded, geometric sans with a sturdy, even stroke and smooth circular construction in bowls and counters. Uppercase forms are broad and stable with generous curves (notably in C, G, O, Q) and simplified, straight-sided structures where expected (E, F, H, N). Lowercase is compact and highly legible, with open apertures and short, clean terminals; the overall rhythm feels consistent and contemporary. Numerals are heavy and clear, with simple geometry and strong presence at display sizes.
Well-suited for headlines, brand marks, posters, and packaging where a clean, contemporary voice is needed. The open shapes and sturdy forms also work well for UI labels and short-to-medium text settings that benefit from clear character separation.
The typeface reads as modern and friendly while still feeling confident and utilitarian. Its rounded geometry and ample counters give it an approachable tone suited to contemporary branding, without leaning into playfulness or nostalgia.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary, highly legible sans with rounded geometric construction and strong presence, emphasizing clarity and friendliness for modern communication and display-forward typography.
The design favors clear silhouettes and straightforward joins, producing strong readability in large text and punchy headings. Round letters maintain smooth curvature, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) are crisp and decisive, creating a balanced mix of softness and structure.
