A heavy, geometric sans with monoline strokes and rounded curve construction. Letterforms show broad proportions with generous internal space, producing open counters and clear silhouettes. Curves are smoothly drawn and nearly circular in characters like O/C/G, while joins and terminals tend to be clean and straightforward rather than tapered. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with a single-storey a and g, a compact shoulder on r, and a wide, stable m/n rhythm. Numerals follow the same robust geometry, with smooth bowls and consistent stroke weight that keeps figures readable at a glance.
This font suits bold headlines and brand marks where a clear, modern sans is needed, and it also performs well for signage and UI labeling thanks to its open counters and straightforward shapes. In longer copy it will read best at moderate sizes where the sturdy strokes can maintain a smooth, even texture without feeling overly dense.
The overall tone is contemporary and self-assured, balancing a friendly roundness with a strong, headline-ready presence. It feels practical and digital-forward rather than expressive or decorative, projecting clarity and directness.
The design appears intended as a robust, contemporary workhorse sans that emphasizes clarity, geometric consistency, and strong presence in display and interface contexts.
Spacing appears even and engineered for steady texture in paragraphs, while the heavy weight and broad shapes create strong emphasis in short lines. Distinctive details like the Q’s tail and the open apertures in C/G help keep forms recognizable in dense settings.
