A heavy, geometric sans with monoline strokes and broadly circular construction in round letters. Curves are smooth and fairly closed, terminals are clean and mostly squared off, and counters are generous for the weight. Proportions feel balanced with a steady rhythm in text; lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with a single-storey “a” and “g” and a robust, straight-backed “n/m”. Numerals are similarly geometric, with round bowls and clear, uncomplicated shapes.
Well-suited to bold headlines, brand marks and wordmarks, posters, and display copy where strong presence is needed. The clean geometry and stable rhythm also work for short UI labels, navigation, and signage-style applications where quick recognition matters.
The overall tone is modern and self-assured, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded geometry. It reads as direct and utilitarian rather than expressive or calligraphic, giving a dependable, contemporary voice.
Likely designed as a straightforward, geometric workhorse for contemporary communication—prioritizing simple forms, even stroke behavior, and strong legibility at display sizes while maintaining a friendly, approachable character.
The design emphasizes clarity through simple silhouettes and consistent stroke treatment, producing strong color in paragraphs. The combination of wide curves and blunt terminals gives headings a punchy, poster-like presence while remaining orderly in running text.
