A sturdy sans with rounded bowls and smooth, continuous curves paired with blunt, mostly straight terminals. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal modulation, and counters are generally open and generous, helping keep dense text from clogging. Uppercase shapes read geometric-leaning but not rigid, with softened joins and slightly humanized proportions; diagonals (A, V, W, X) are strong and stable. Lowercase forms are simple and workmanlike, with a single-storey a and g and compact, rounded shoulders on n/m; the overall spacing feels even and the fit is comfortable at text and display sizes.
Well-suited to interface typography, product and brand systems, and editorial layouts that need a strong, readable sans. The heavy, rounded construction also works well for headlines, signage, packaging, and short marketing copy where a friendly but assertive tone is desired.
The tone is contemporary and approachable, combining a utilitarian clarity with a warm, rounded friendliness. Its weight and steady rhythm give it a confident, no-nonsense voice that still feels welcoming rather than technical.
The design appears intended as a versatile contemporary sans that prioritizes legibility and a steady typographic color while softening the feel through rounded forms. It aims to balance everyday usability with enough weight and presence for prominent display roles.
Figures are clear and sturdy with straightforward geometry and consistent weight, suited to prominent numeric settings. The design maintains a calm, uniform color across lines, supporting legibility in longer passages while still carrying enough presence for headings.
