A solid, geometric sans with generous, rounded curves and consistently heavy strokes. Counters are open and simple, with smooth circular bowls and minimal modulation, giving the shapes a sturdy, even color on the page. Proportions favor a large x-height and straightforward construction; terminals are clean and mostly flat, while joins stay crisp without becoming sharp. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g,” compact shoulders, and uncomplicated forms that prioritize clarity at display and subhead sizes.
This font is well-suited for headlines, branding, and short-to-medium text where a strong, clean presence is desired. Its open counters and large x-height support legibility for UI labels, navigation, and wayfinding, while the dense, even texture works well for posters and bold typographic layouts.
The overall tone is modern and no-nonsense, with a friendly approachability created by round forms and ample interior space. It feels confident and practical rather than expressive, suited to communication that should read as direct, contemporary, and stable.
The design appears intended as a versatile, contemporary sans that emphasizes simplicity, legibility, and a strong typographic footprint. Its geometric construction and restrained detailing suggest a focus on broad usability across digital and print settings.
Uppercase forms are broad and strong with round “O/Q” shapes and a simple, unobtrusive “Q” tail. Numerals are sturdy and uniform in presence, with clear differentiation between similar shapes and a straightforward, signage-like rhythm in continuous text.
