A heavy, geometric sans with rounded bowls and smoothly curved terminals balanced by crisp, straight joins. Letterforms lean on near-circular counters (notably in O, Q, and lowercase o), with sturdy verticals and broad, even strokes that keep the texture dense and consistent. The lowercase shows compact, simple constructions with a single-storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and an open, clean e; ascenders are firm and straight, and punctuation/diacritics (like the i/j dots) read as solid, round points. Numerals are robust and headline-forward, with the 8 and 0 built from generous, well-centered shapes for strong legibility at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks where a compact, high-impact texture is desirable. It can work for short UI labels or signage when set with sufficient size and spacing, but its dense weight favors display over long-form reading.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded geometry and large, open counters. It feels straightforward and energetic—more about impact and clarity than delicacy or nuance—making it read as approachable but emphatic.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, geometric workhorse for prominent messaging—prioritizing strong silhouette, clean construction, and reliable readability in bold, attention-grabbing settings.
The rhythm in text is tight and blocky, producing a strong, even color that holds up well in short lines and large settings. Distinctive details like the Q’s diagonal tail and the angular joins in letters such as K and V add a subtle technical edge without breaking the rounded, geometric theme.
