A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and smooth, round bowls. Curves are built from near-circular forms with consistent stroke weight and clean, straight terminals, producing a crisp silhouette. Counters are generally open and generous for the weight, and spacing feels even and stable in text. Uppercase shapes are simple and sturdy; lowercase forms keep a straightforward, contemporary construction with single-storey a and g and round dots on i/j, while numerals are large, clear, and strongly shaped.
This font is well-suited to headlines, branding, and packaging where a strong, contemporary presence is needed. It also works for signage and UI callouts that benefit from sturdy letterforms and clear, rounded geometry, particularly at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is modern and self-assured, with a friendly softness from the rounded geometry. Its solid color and uncluttered forms give it an assertive, no-nonsense voice that still feels approachable rather than rigid.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong geometric sans voice with approachable roundness, prioritizing clear silhouettes and an even typographic rhythm. It aims for contemporary versatility—capable of bold, attention-grabbing display while remaining orderly and readable in short text settings.
Round letters like C, O, and S show smooth curvature with minimal modulation, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) appear robust and well-balanced for display use. The bold weight produces strong emphasis in running text, with punctuation and short words reading especially clearly at larger sizes.
