A rounded, geometric sans with heavy, even strokes and clean terminals. Counters are generally open and circular/oval, giving letters a smooth, constructed feel, while curves stay controlled rather than bubbly. Proportions are fairly compact, with sturdy verticals and simple joins that keep shapes crisp at larger sizes. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably the a and g), and the overall rhythm reads steady and uncluttered.
Well-suited for headlines, branding, and short-to-medium display text where strong presence and clarity are needed. It also works for UI labels, signage, and packaging where a friendly modern tone and robust shapes help maintain legibility at varying sizes.
The typeface conveys a friendly, contemporary tone with a confident, straightforward voice. Its rounded geometry softens the weight, making it feel approachable rather than severe, while the dense silhouettes keep it assertive and attention-grabbing.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary geometric sans with softened corners and strong visual weight, prioritizing clarity, consistency, and a welcoming display character.
The numerals are simple and sturdy, matching the letterforms’ rounded construction for consistent color in mixed alphanumeric settings. The uppercase is broad and stable, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation with minimal stylistic quirks.
