A heavy, geometric sans with smooth, largely circular curves and flat, squared terminals. The stroke thickness is consistent throughout, producing a solid, even color in text. Counters are generous and round, and many forms lean on simple, constructed geometry (notably in O/C/G and the numerals), while maintaining readable joins and clear internal space. Lowercase letters show compact, sturdy shapes with a single-storey “a” and “g”, a short, centered crossbar on “t”, and rounded shoulders on “n/m”, creating a straightforward rhythm across lines.
This style performs best where strong presence and quick recognition matter—headlines, logos and wordmarks, short UI labels, packaging callouts, and signage. It can set short paragraphs at larger sizes, where its open counters and even texture support readability without looking delicate.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its rounded geometry keeps it from feeling harsh, giving it a friendly, practical character suited to direct messaging.
The design appears intended as a versatile, constructed sans that balances geometric simplicity with everyday legibility. It aims to deliver a bold visual anchor for contemporary communication while staying neutral enough to pair with a wide range of layouts and imagery.
Spacing appears comfortable and slightly generous for a heavy style, helping counters stay open in running text. The numerals are robust and highly legible, with simple silhouettes and minimal detailing that match the letterforms.
