Figures are simple and weighty, matching the letters’ solid, no-nonsense construction.

The tone is friendly and contemporary, combining a straightforward voice with subtle warmth from its rounded details. It reads as approachable and calm rather than technical or severe, making it feel trustworthy and easygoing in display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact sans typography that remains personable and readable. Its softened terminals and open construction suggest a goal of balancing modern clarity with a warmer, more human feel for everyday communication.
The letterforms lean toward simple, broadly drawn shapes with minimal modulation, giving a consistent texture across lines. Punctuation and basic forms shown in the sample text maintain the same sturdy, rounded character, supporting high-impact headlines without looking harsh.
