A heavy geometric sans with clean, monoline construction and broadly circular bowls. Curves are smooth and consistent, while joins and terminals are mostly squared-off, giving the shapes a crisp, engineered feel despite the round foundations. Counters are generous for the weight, and the overall spacing reads even and orderly in text. Lowercase forms are straightforward and sturdy, with simple single-storey shapes and minimal modulation.
Best suited to display-forward applications such as headlines, brand marks, packaging, and signage where the bold weight and geometric clarity can carry. It also works well for UI labels and dashboards in larger sizes where strong contrast against backgrounds and quick recognizability are important.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, balancing a friendly roundness with a firm, no-nonsense presence. It feels confident and utilitarian, with a subtle tech-forward character that stays neutral enough for general UI and branding.
Likely drawn to provide a modern geometric sans that reads cleanly and consistently across a wide range of display contexts. The combination of round construction and crisp terminals suggests an intention to be both friendly and authoritative, with strong visual impact and reliable legibility.
The design leans on classic geometric proportions (notably in O/C/G and the numerals), producing a stable rhythm at display sizes. The bold massing makes it attention-grabbing, while the relatively open counters help maintain clarity in short lines and headings.
