A heavy, geometric sans with smooth, circular bowls and consistent stroke thickness. Curves are clean and broadly rounded, while terminals are mostly straight-cut, giving the letters a crisp, constructed feel. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with wide counters and clear interior space that keeps the dense weight readable. The lowercase shows simple, functional forms with a single-storey “a” and “g”, and the numerals follow the same round, robust structure with clear silhouettes.
Best suited for headlines, identity systems, and bold UI moments where a strong, clean presence is needed. The sturdy shapes and open counters also make it a good candidate for signage and packaging that require quick recognition at a distance.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, pairing strong weight with friendly roundness. It feels confident and straightforward rather than decorative, with a contemporary, brand-ready voice that reads as practical and energetic.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary geometric sans look with maximum impact and straightforward legibility. Its simplified forms and strong weight suggest a focus on modern branding and high-visibility text rather than nuanced typographic texture.
Round characters like O/C/G and the bowls in b/d/p/q lean toward near-circular geometry, creating a steady rhythm in text. The design emphasizes clarity through open counters and uncomplicated joins, while the heavy color makes it more at home at display sizes than long-form reading.
