A compact, heavy sans with a geometric foundation and smooth, continuous curves. Round letters are close to circular with even, low-contrast strokes, while straight-sided forms keep a clean, engineered feel. Terminals are mostly blunt and neatly finished, with tight joins and minimal stroke modulation. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g”, a short-shouldered “r”, and generally roomy counters for the weight; the uppercase set is broad-shouldered and steady, with an open “G” and a wide, circular “O”. Figures are similarly robust and simplified, with clear silhouettes and consistent spacing rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, branding, and other display-forward applications where a strong, clean voice is needed. It should also work well for UI labels, short paragraphs, and signage thanks to its open counters and straightforward letterforms.
The overall tone is modern and assertive without feeling harsh. Its rounded geometry and stable proportions give it a friendly, approachable confidence suited to contemporary brand and interface voice.
This font appears designed to deliver a clear, contemporary sans presence with dependable legibility and strong visual punch. The emphasis on geometric curves, minimal detailing, and sturdy shapes suggests an intention to be versatile for modern communication while remaining approachable.
The design leans toward clarity and impact: large internal spaces, smooth curvature, and restrained detailing keep it readable at display sizes while still functioning for short text. Diagonals (notably in V/W/Y and Z) feel crisp and purposeful, reinforcing the structured, contemporary character.
