A sturdy sans with monoline strokes, generous width, and a clearly geometric construction. Curves resolve into near-circular bowls (O, C, e), while straight strokes stay crisp with minimal modulation and largely squared terminals. Counters are open and roomy, spacing reads even, and the overall rhythm is stable and highly legible at display sizes. The lowercase shows a large x-height with simple, unembellished forms and a single-storey a and g that keep the texture smooth and contemporary.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and branding where a wide, bold silhouette can carry a message quickly. It also works well for packaging and short UI/marketing callouts where clarity and a friendly, contemporary voice are needed.
The tone is modern and approachable, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its broad, rounded shapes feel friendly and inclusive while still reading as straightforward and utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a versatile geometric sans for impactful display typography—prioritizing strong silhouettes, open shapes, and consistent stroke behavior to stay readable and contemporary across a range of large-format uses.
The uppercase is compact and blocky in feel, with broad proportions and simple joins, giving headings a solid, poster-like silhouette. Numerals follow the same geometric logic with clear, rounded forms and consistent stroke weight, supporting strong at-a-glance recognition.
