A heavy, geometric sans with broad, circular bowls and consistent, even stroke weight. Curves are smooth and full (notably in C, O, G, and 8), while terminals are cleanly cut with little to no flare. Proportions feel compact and sturdy, with relatively closed apertures and a dense rhythm in text; counters remain clear despite the weight. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and simple, unornamented forms overall, reinforcing a straightforward, contemporary construction.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where strong presence is needed—headlines, branding lockups, packaging, and promotional graphics. It can also work for UI labels and navigation at larger sizes where its dense, compact forms remain clear and stable.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, projecting solidity and confidence. Its rounded geometry keeps it from feeling harsh, lending a friendly, accessible voice suitable for mainstream branding and interfaces.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, contemporary sans voice built on simple geometric shapes, prioritizing impact and clarity over calligraphic nuance. Its consistent weight and compact rhythm suggest an emphasis on strong silhouettes and easy, repeatable typography across modern applications.
Numerals are robust and highly graphic, with a balanced 0 and a compact, curved 2 and 3 that match the letterforms’ rounded logic. The Q’s diagonal tail and the G’s interior bar add subtle character without breaking the consistent geometric system.
