A solid, geometric sans with heavy, even stroke weight and rounded, circular counters. Curves are smooth and regular, while terminals are clean and mostly straight, producing a crisp, high-impact silhouette. Proportions feel compact with wide bowls and a sturdy baseline presence, and spacing reads clear and consistent in both the uppercase grid and the running text sample. The numerals are similarly robust and simple, matching the letterforms with open shapes and strong verticals.
Best suited for headlines and short-to-medium blocks of prominent text where strong presence is needed, such as branding, posters, packaging, and signage. The clean geometry and sturdy weight also work well for UI labels or navigation at larger sizes where clarity and impact matter more than delicacy.
The overall tone is bold and matter-of-fact, with a friendly modernity coming from the rounded curves and uncomplicated construction. It feels contemporary and utilitarian rather than delicate, projecting clarity and confidence in display settings.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, geometric workhorse with a strong display voice—prioritizing bold readability, clean shapes, and consistent rhythm across letters and numerals.
Uppercase forms lean toward classic geometric construction (round O/C/G, broad D, and a straightforward E/F), while the lowercase maintains simple, readable shapes with round bowls and minimal ornamentation. In the sample text, the weight and compact proportions create a dense, attention-grabbing texture that remains legible at large sizes.
