A heavy, geometric sans with largely uniform strokes and rounded curve construction. Bowls and counters lean toward circular forms, while terminals are cleanly cut, producing crisp joins and a tidy silhouette. The uppercase feels sturdy and even, with broad curves on letters like C, G, and O, and straight-sided verticals that keep spacing consistent. Lowercase forms are simple and compact, with a single-storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and a balanced, symmetrical feel across repeated shapes.
Well suited to branding and identity work that needs a contemporary, friendly voice, as well as headlines, posters, and packaging where strong typographic color is useful. It can also work for UI labels and short interface text where clarity and punch are priorities, particularly at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is modern and upbeat, combining a friendly roundness with a direct, confident weight. It reads as contemporary and practical rather than expressive or ornamental, making it feel approachable while still commanding attention.
Likely designed as a versatile, geometric workhorse for modern communication: simple construction, consistent rhythm, and sturdy forms aimed at clear, confident display typography that remains approachable.
Figures are stout and highly legible at display sizes, with straightforward forms and minimal stylistic quirks. The sample text shows steady rhythm and consistent color, especially in repeated rounded letters, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) add a sharp counterpoint to the predominantly curved structure.
