A heavy, monoline sans with rounded, geometric construction and smooth curves paired with straight terminals. Counters are generally open and generous for the weight, with compact joins and clear interior space in letters like a, e, and g. Proportions feel balanced and contemporary: round letters are near-circular, verticals are steady, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are crisp without sharp, spiky detailing. The lowercase shows a single-story a and g, simple dot forms, and a straightforward, workmanlike rhythm that holds together well in continuous text.
Works well for branding and headline typography where a strong, contemporary sans is needed without feeling harsh. Its open counters and even texture also suit signage and UI labels, and it can carry short-to-medium text blocks when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded geometry and even stroke color. At the same time, the weight and straightforward shapes give it a confident, no-nonsense presence suited to clear messaging.
Likely designed as a versatile, contemporary sans that prioritizes clarity and a consistent, even typographic color. The rounded geometric forms suggest an intent to feel approachable while still delivering strong emphasis at larger sizes.
Numerals are sturdy and highly readable, with simple, familiar forms and consistent stroke presence. Uppercase shapes read cleanly at display sizes, while the lowercase maintains clarity in dense lines due to open apertures and uncluttered detailing.
