A heavy, geometric sans with smooth, round bowls and clean, straight terminals. Curves are built from near-circular forms, while verticals and horizontals stay firm and even, creating a steady rhythm and strong silhouette. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and key joins (as in K, R, and the diagonals) are crisp rather than soft, giving the design a sturdy, contemporary feel. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a compact, sturdy t with a short crossbar, and generally wide, rounded shapes that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, clean presence is needed. It also works well for signage and packaging that benefit from rounded geometry and high visual impact, and for short UI labels or buttons where clarity at larger sizes matters.
The tone is modern and approachable, with a confident, straightforward voice. Its rounded geometry keeps it friendly, while the dense weight and clean construction make it feel assertive and practical rather than playful.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, geometric workhorse for display-forward typography—prioritizing bold presence, simple construction, and consistent round forms that remain legible and recognizable in quick reads.
The numerals are bold and simple with strong, round geometry and minimal detail, matching the letters closely. Overall spacing and proportions favor impact and clarity, with shapes that hold together well in short headlines and prominent UI labels.
