A heavy, clean sans with broadly rounded terminals and softened corners throughout. Curves are built from smooth, near-circular bowls with generous counters, while straight strokes stay firm and even, creating a steady, modern rhythm. Proportions lean slightly wide in round letters, and spacing feels open enough to keep dense text readable at large sizes. Details like the single-storey “a,” simple geometric “g,” and the plain, squared dots on “i/j” reinforce a straightforward, utilitarian construction with a friendly finish.
Works well for headlines and short blocks of copy where you want strong presence without aggression. The open shapes and large counters make it suitable for interface labels, wayfinding, and signage, and it can support bold branding applications that benefit from a friendly, contemporary sans.
The overall tone is warm and accessible, pairing a sturdy voice with softened edges that keep it from feeling harsh. It reads as contemporary and practical, with an inviting, everyday character that suits public-facing communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a confident, high-impact sans that remains approachable through rounded terminals and simplified letterforms. It prioritizes clarity and consistency, aiming for versatile use across display and functional contexts.
Distinctive rounded-square styling appears in punctuation-like details (such as the tittle and colon), echoing the rounded terminal theme. Numerals are robust and highly legible, with clear differentiation and a consistent weight that matches the letters.
