A heavy, geometric sans with largely circular bowls and smooth, continuous curves paired with straight, squared-off terminals. Strokes are consistently thick, with clean joins and a steady rhythm that reads as structured rather than calligraphic. Counters are fairly open for the weight, and proportions feel balanced and slightly compact, helping the letters hold their shape at large sizes. Details like the single-storey ‘a’ and ‘g’, simple ‘t’, and round i/j dots reinforce a straightforward, contemporary construction.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where a strong, clean sans is needed with a friendly edge. The sturdy letterforms and open counters also make it a good option for UI labels, navigation, and short bursts of text in signage or packaging where clarity at a glance matters.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, combining a friendly roundness with a solid, assertive presence. It feels functional and contemporary rather than decorative, projecting clarity and confidence without becoming harsh.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, geometric workhorse with a bold voice—optimized for impact and straightforward readability. Its simplified forms and consistent stroke weight suggest a focus on versatile display use while remaining clean enough for interface and informational settings.
Capitals show broad, stable forms (notably the round ‘C’, ‘G’, ‘O’, ‘Q’) with minimal modulation, while diagonals in ‘V’, ‘W’, ‘X’, and ‘Y’ stay crisp and symmetrical. Numerals are sturdy and highly legible, with ample interior space in ‘8’ and clear differentiation across the set.
