A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and clean, low-contrast strokes. Curves are built from generous circular forms, with rounded counters and smooth joins, while terminals are predominantly flat and horizontal/vertical. The texture is dense and even in text, supported by large internal spaces and simple, open shapes; diagonals (as in K, V, W, X, Y) are strong and crisp without calligraphic modulation. Numerals are similarly solid and round, with consistent stroke weight and a slightly condensed, headline-ready rhythm.
Best suited for high-impact display applications such as headlines, brand marks, posters, and packaging where a strong, contemporary sans presence is needed. It can also work for short UI labels or signage that benefits from bold, simple letterforms and clear shapes.
The overall tone is confident and contemporary, with a friendly, approachable sturdiness. Its generous curves and straightforward construction feel practical and modern rather than delicate or formal, giving it a clear, no-nonsense voice suited to bold messaging.
Likely designed to deliver a sturdy, modern sans voice with geometric clarity and strong visual presence. The simplified lowercase construction and large, round counters suggest an emphasis on immediacy and legibility in bold, attention-grabbing settings.
The lowercase shows single-storey forms in a and g, contributing to an informal, simplified readability. Round letters like O/Q and C/G emphasize circular geometry, and the heavy weight produces a strong silhouette that holds together well at display sizes.
