A rounded, geometric sans with heavy, even strokes and smooth curves. Circular forms like O and Q are close to monolinear and broadly proportioned, while verticals and horizontals keep a consistent, sturdy rhythm. Corners are softened rather than sharp, and counters remain open and readable at display sizes. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a compact, rounded e, and generally simple, utilitarian constructions that favor clarity over flourish.
Well-suited to headlines, brand marks, packaging, posters, and signage where a clean, rounded sans can carry emphasis without looking harsh. It also works effectively for UI labels and short text elements that benefit from strong shapes and quick recognition.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, pairing a friendly softness with a confident, straightforward presence. It feels neutral enough for everyday interface and brand use, while the weight gives it an assertive, attention-holding voice in headlines.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, geometric workhorse with softened forms—aiming for high-impact readability and a welcoming character. Its simplified lowercase and consistent stroke behavior suggest a focus on dependable performance across display and general-purpose settings.
Numerals are large and clear, with rounded bowls and stable bases, matching the alphabet’s smooth geometry. The set reads best when given room—its generous curves and thick strokes create a strong silhouette that can feel dense in long blocks if set too tightly.
