A solid, geometric sans with rounded bowls and broadly circular construction. Strokes are sturdy and even, with minimal modulation and mostly blunt, clean terminals. Curves are generous and smooth (notably in C/G/O/Q), while joins and diagonals keep a crisp, engineered feel. Spacing appears comfortable and the letterforms favor open counters and clear interior shapes, supporting a steady rhythm in text.
Works well for headlines and short copy where a sturdy, clean sans is needed, and it holds up in UI labels and navigation thanks to its open counters and straightforward shapes. The weight and geometry also make it effective for signage and packaging, as well as contemporary branding that wants clarity with a friendly edge.
The overall tone is straightforward and contemporary, combining friendliness from the rounded geometry with confidence from the heavy, stable strokes. It reads as practical and welcoming rather than sharp or ornate, with a familiar, no-nonsense voice suited to general-purpose design.
Likely intended as a versatile, modern sans that prioritizes clarity and immediate legibility through geometric construction, open counters, and simple terminals. The design balances approachability with a firm presence, aiming to be broadly usable across display and general editorial settings.
Uppercase forms lean toward simple, constructed geometry; the G uses a clear horizontal bar, and the Q has a distinct tail. Lowercase shapes keep a single-storey feel where applicable and maintain wide, open counters; the dot on i/j is round, reinforcing the soft geometry. Numerals are similarly robust and clear, with ample interior space in 0/8/9 and a straightforward, readable 1.
