A heavy, geometric sans with round, smoothly drawn bowls and consistently thick strokes. Curves are built from clean circular/elliptical geometry, while straight strokes keep a steady, squared-off rhythm. Terminals are mostly flat and crisp, with minimal modulation and a compact, sturdy texture in both uppercase and lowercase. Counters are generally open and legible (notably in C, e, a, and s), and the overall spacing reads even and stable in text.
This font works best where strong presence and quick readability are needed, such as headlines, brand marks, packaging callouts, and signage. It also performs well for short UI labels or section headers where a dense, solid typographic color is desirable.
The design feels modern and approachable, projecting confidence without becoming aggressive. Its rounded construction and straightforward detailing give it a friendly, contemporary tone that suits clear messaging and brand-forward layouts.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a dependable, contemporary sans voice with geometric clarity and a bold, compact rhythm. The emphasis is on clean construction, even weight distribution, and strong silhouettes for high-impact use.
Uppercase forms are broad and simple with strong silhouettes, while lowercase maintains a utilitarian, highly readable structure. Numerals follow the same geometric logic, appearing sturdy and clear at display sizes.
