A heavy, geometric sans with smooth, round curves and broadly even stroke thickness. Uppercase forms are wide and stable with simple, circular bowls and open counters; curves read as clean arcs rather than calligraphic modulation. Terminals are largely straight and blunt, while joins are tidy and consistent, creating a dense, solid texture in text. Lowercase follows the same geometric logic with a single‑storey a and g, a round, open e, and compact, vertical-stem proportions that keep words feeling sturdy and cohesive. Numerals are similarly bold and rounded, with clear silhouettes and generous interior space for the weight.
Well suited to headlines, logos, packaging, and promotional graphics where a bold, clean voice is needed. Its open counters and simple shapes also make it a solid option for short UI labels and wayfinding or signage where quick recognition matters.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, projecting clarity and strength without feeling aggressive. Its rounded geometry and open counters add a friendly, accessible character, while the dense weight communicates confidence and impact.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, geometric sans voice with high impact and dependable legibility. The simplified, rounded construction suggests an emphasis on versatility for contemporary branding and display typography.
At larger sizes it reads like a clean display sans, but the letterforms remain disciplined enough for short text blocks. The rhythm is consistent and tightly set visually, with strong verticals and smooth curves giving it a polished, no-nonsense presence.
