A heavy, geometric sans with smooth, circular bowls and largely uniform stroke thickness. Letterforms show broad, open counters and clean terminals, with an overall compact rhythm that reads solid and controlled. Curves are notably round (e.g., O/C/G), while diagonals in forms like A, V, W, and Y are straight and sturdy, balancing softness with structure. The lowercase presents simple, contemporary constructions with a single-storey “g” and a straight, utilitarian “t,” keeping the texture even and dense in paragraphs.
Best suited for headlines, display copy, and brand-forward applications where a strong, clean voice is needed. It should perform well in posters, packaging, UI hero text, and signage, especially where a contemporary, friendly geometric feel is desired.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, combining friendly roundness with a confident, no-nonsense weight. It feels contemporary and straightforward rather than quirky, with a clean presence that suits prominent, attention-getting typography without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, modern sans voice built on circular geometry and simplified constructions, prioritizing clarity and visual impact. Its consistent shapes and compact texture suggest a focus on versatile display use across branding and editorial titles.
In text, the heavy weight produces a strong color on the page, making spacing and counters especially important; the open shapes help maintain clarity at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same geometric discipline, supporting a consistent, branded look across mixed content.
