A heavy, clean sans with rounded, geometric construction and smooth circular bowls. Strokes stay even and sturdy, with predominantly straight terminals and subtle corner softening that keeps forms from feeling sharp. Counters are generous for the weight, and the overall rhythm is compact with short ascenders and descenders relative to the large x-height. Numerals and capitals read as solid, simplified shapes with minimal detailing and consistent proportions.
Well-suited to branding and headline typography where a strong, friendly sans presence is needed. The wide openings and simplified shapes also make it effective for signage and short UI labels, especially when set in larger sizes or high-contrast layouts.
The tone is modern and approachable, combining bold clarity with a friendly softness from its rounded curves. It feels confident and straightforward rather than expressive or quirky, lending a contemporary, utilitarian voice that still avoids harshness.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, rounded display sans that prioritizes immediate readability and a welcoming feel. Its consistent geometry and sturdy weight suggest it was drawn to perform reliably in bold typographic statements across print and digital contexts.
Round letters (like O/C/G) show clean, near-circular geometry, while diagonals (A/V/W/X/Y) are broad and stable. The lowercase uses single-storey forms where applicable (notably a and g), reinforcing an informal, contemporary sans flavor while maintaining strong legibility at display sizes.
