A sturdy geometric sans with smooth, circular bowls and consistent, low-modulation strokes. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, with generous interior counters (notably in C, O, and G) and simple, largely straight-sided constructions in E, F, H, and N. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, single-storey ‘a’ and ‘g’ with round terminals and compact joins, producing an even texture in text. Numerals follow the same rounded, heavy build with clear, open shapes and minimal detailing, prioritizing clarity over ornament.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and branding where a strong, clean sans impression is needed. It should work well for signage and packaging that benefits from quick recognition and bold presence, and it can also serve as a robust UI or product typeface at larger text sizes.
The overall tone is modern and assured, with a friendly approachability coming from the rounded geometry and open counters. Its weight and simple construction give it a direct, no-nonsense voice that still feels contemporary rather than industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary geometric sans with high impact and dependable legibility, using rounded construction and open counters to stay friendly and readable while maintaining a strong, graphic footprint.
Round forms read as true circles/ellipses rather than calligraphic shapes, and the spacing appears balanced for continuous reading at larger sizes. The design favors simple joins and strong silhouettes, which helps letters remain recognizable in dense settings like headings and UI labels.
