A sturdy, geometric sans with heavy, even strokes and broadly proportioned letterforms. Curves are smooth and round with minimal contrast, while terminals are clean and predominantly flat, giving the shapes a crisp, contemporary finish. Counters are generous and open (notably in C, G, S, and e), and the overall spacing and rhythm feel steady and readable at display sizes. The lowercase is straightforward and uncluttered, with a single-storey a and g and compact, functional joins in letters like m and n.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks that need a clear, impactful voice. It also works well for signage and short UI labels where strong legibility and a stable, geometric rhythm are more important than delicate text nuance.
The font reads as modern and assured, with a friendly accessibility that comes from its round forms and open counters. Its weight and broad stance create an emphatic, headline-forward tone that feels direct and confident rather than delicate or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, contemporary sans that balances approachability with authority. By emphasizing broad proportions, open counters, and restrained detailing, it aims to stay versatile for modern branding and display typography while maintaining dependable readability.
Figures are robust and highly legible, with simple construction and clear differentiation between forms (e.g., 6/8/9 and 2/3). The Q has a clear, modern tail treatment, and the overall design avoids quirky detailing in favor of consistent geometry and strong silhouette.
