A heavy, geometric sans with monoline strokes, generous proportions, and broadly rounded bowls. Curves are built from near-circular forms, while joins and terminals stay clean and mostly squared, creating a crisp, contemporary rhythm. Counters are open and spacious in letters like C, G, O, and e, and the lowercase shows a straightforward, single-storey a and g with minimal modulation. Numerals are similarly sturdy and simple, with consistent stroke weight and large interior spaces for clarity at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, brand marks, posters, and signage where strong presence and quick readability matter. It also works well for short UI labels, navigation, and callouts that benefit from a clear, contemporary sans with sturdy letterforms.
The overall tone is modern and self-assured, combining friendly roundness with a no-nonsense solidity. It feels contemporary and approachable rather than quirky, projecting clarity and strength without becoming aggressive.
The design appears intended as a versatile geometric workhorse: bold enough to anchor display typography while staying clean and neutral for modern branding and interface-forward layouts. The emphasis on simple construction and open counters suggests a focus on legibility and consistency across letters and numerals.
The wide-set geometry and large counters keep text blocks from feeling cramped, even at heavier weights. Circular forms (O, Q, 0, 8) read especially stable, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are clean and sharp, adding a subtle technical edge.
