A solid, geometric sans with uniform stroke weight and broad, open counters. Curves are built from clean circular/elliptical segments, while joins and terminals read mostly straight and crisp, giving the shapes a sturdy, no-nonsense feel. The uppercase is wide and stable with simple construction (notably in E/F/T and the diagonals of K/V/W/X), and the lowercase keeps compact, rounded forms with clear differentiation in a, e, g, and q. Numerals follow the same geometric logic, with generous interior space in 0/8/9 and straightforward, blocky construction in 1/4/7.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where a strong, even presence is desirable—headlines, posters, branding systems, and wayfinding/signage. The clear, open forms also make it a solid option for interface labels and navigation text at larger sizes.
The overall tone is contemporary and pragmatic—confident without being flashy. Its even texture and open shapes feel friendly enough for general communication while remaining businesslike and functional.
The design intention reads as a dependable, modern workhorse sans that prioritizes clarity and consistency. It aims to deliver a strong typographic voice with simple geometric construction that stays legible and stable across a range of sizes.
Spacing appears comfortable and consistent, producing a steady typographic color in paragraph settings. Round letters (C/G/O/Q) keep smooth, controlled curvature, while straight-sided forms (H/N/M/U) emphasize a structured rhythm.
