A sturdy geometric sans with broad proportions, uniform stroke weight, and clean, unmodulated curves. Round letters (O, C, G) read as near-circular with smooth joins, while straight-sided forms keep crisp terminals and even rhythm. Counters are generous and apertures stay open, supporting clarity at larger sizes. Numerals are simple and heavy-set, matching the overall width and maintaining consistent vertical alignment and stroke density.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and short-to-medium text where impact and quick recognition matter—such as posters, brand marks, signage, packaging, and UI titles. The generous counters and open forms also help it hold up in bold callouts and large-scale environmental applications.
The overall tone is modern and confident, with a friendly, approachable neutrality. Its wide stance and smooth geometry give it an assertive presence without feeling sharp or technical.
The design appears intended as a dependable, contemporary sans that emphasizes legibility and presence through wide proportions and simple geometric construction. It aims to provide a clean, versatile voice that reads clearly while delivering strong visual weight for display settings.
The uppercase set feels particularly blocky and stable, while lowercase forms keep compact bowls and straightforward construction. Spacing in the sample text appears even, creating a solid, poster-like texture with strong word shapes.
