A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded curves. Strokes are monolinear with minimal contrast, and terminals are cleanly cut for a crisp silhouette. Counters are generous and circular in letters like O and Q, while forms such as S, C, and G emphasize even curvature and stable spacing. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, single-storey approach (notably a and g), with sturdy stems and compact joins that hold up well at large sizes.
Best suited to display settings where impact and readability are priorities, such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and environmental or wayfinding signage. It also works well for short UI labels and callouts when a strong, contemporary presence is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, with a friendly clarity driven by round counters and uncomplicated letter construction. Its weight and width give it a confident, attention-getting voice that feels practical rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a clear, modern sans voice with maximum presence, using geometric construction and consistent stroke weight to maintain legibility and visual stability at large sizes.
Numerals follow the same geometric, sturdy construction, with a notably round 0 and strong, open shapes in 6, 8, and 9. The ampersand is compact and bold, matching the font’s simplified, high-legibility rhythm.
