A sturdy sans with broad proportions, solid verticals, and smoothly rounded bowls. Curves are clean and fairly geometric, with consistent stroke thickness and gently softened joins that keep counters open without feeling airy. Terminals are mostly blunt and square-ended, giving the design a firm, contemporary texture. The lowercase shows simple, workmanlike forms (single-storey a, open e, straightforward r) and the numerals are wide and stable, with an oval 0 and a plain, readable 1.
Well-suited to display roles where clarity and impact are needed, such as headlines, posters, brand wordmarks, packaging, and short-form messaging. It can also serve in UI or wayfinding contexts where a robust, readable sans is preferred, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, combining a no-nonsense structure with friendly roundness. Its weight and breadth create a confident, attention-grabbing voice that still reads as neutral and utilitarian rather than decorative.
The design appears intended as a versatile, contemporary sans that prioritizes strong presence and easy reading. Its geometric roundness and firm terminals suggest a goal of delivering a clean, modern look with enough warmth to feel accessible in branding and editorial display.
Spacing reads even in running text, producing a steady rhythm and strong word shapes at larger sizes. Round letters (C, O, Q) feel especially smooth and consistent, while angular forms (K, V, W, X, Y) keep a crisp, engineered edge that balances the softness of the bowls.
