A heavy, geometric sans with broad, round bowls and clean, unmodulated strokes. Curves are drawn from near-circular forms, while terminals are mostly flat and squared, producing a crisp silhouette despite the rounded construction. Counters stay relatively open for the weight, and the overall rhythm is compact and sturdy, with straightforward joins and minimal detailing that favors clarity at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short display copy where bold mass and simple geometry carry across quickly. It also fits branding, packaging, and signage that need a contemporary, approachable presence and strong figure/letter clarity at a glance.
The tone is bold and assertive without feeling aggressive, combining a contemporary, no-nonsense build with a friendly roundness. Its generous curves and simplified forms give it an approachable, upbeat character suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended as a high-impact geometric sans that prioritizes immediate readability and a solid, contemporary voice. Its restrained detailing and consistent stroke behavior suggest a focus on versatile display use across print and digital contexts.
Uppercase letters read as strong blocks with smooth, even curvature; the ‘O’ and ‘Q’ show classic geometric structure, with the ‘Q’ featuring a short, direct tail. Lowercase forms are similarly simplified and sturdy, with a single-storey ‘a’ and a rounded, compact ‘g’, reinforcing a modern, casual texture. Numerals are thick and highly legible, with rounded shapes and minimal ornamentation that match the alphabet.
