This typeface is a sturdy geometric sans with even, heavy strokes and rounded bowls. Curves are built from near-circular forms, while joins and terminals stay clean and mostly straight, producing a crisp, engineered silhouette. Counters are generally open and generous, and the lowercase shows a straightforward construction with a single-storey a and g, a compact t, and a simple, vertical i/j with diamond-shaped dots. Overall spacing reads stable and regular, with letterforms that prioritize clear shapes over calligraphic nuance.
It performs well for headlines and short-to-medium text where strong presence and quick recognition are needed, such as branding, packaging, posters, and wayfinding. The clear, geometric shapes also suit UI labels and dashboard-style interfaces, especially at larger sizes where the sturdy rhythm reads cleanly.
The tone is modern and matter-of-fact, projecting clarity and reliability with a slightly friendly edge from its rounded curves. It feels practical and confident rather than decorative, suited to contemporary branding and information-first typography.
The design appears intended as a contemporary workhorse sans: a geometric, highly legible voice with consistent weight and simplified constructions, optimized for clarity, impact, and straightforward typography across print and screen contexts.
Uppercase forms lean geometric with broad curves in C/G/O/Q and a clean, diagonal-legged R; the Q includes a short diagonal tail. Numerals are similarly robust and round, with smooth, readable shapes that match the letters’ weight and curvature.
