A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and smooth, circular bowls. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a solid, even color in lines of text. Curves are clean and round, while terminals are mostly flat and crisp, giving the forms a tidy, engineered feel. Counters are generous and apertures remain fairly open, supporting clarity at display sizes; punctuation and dots are round and prominent.
Best suited for short to medium-length text in large sizes—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and wayfinding—where its strong weight and rounded geometry can carry impact. It can also work for UI headings and callouts when a solid, friendly presence is desired.
The overall tone feels modern and approachable, combining a friendly roundness with assertive weight. It reads as confident and contemporary rather than delicate or formal, with a straightforward, no-nonsense rhythm that still stays warm.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary geometric voice with high visual impact and dependable legibility, emphasizing clean construction, rounded counters, and a stable rhythm for display typography.
The spacing in the samples suggests comfortable sidebearings for headlines, and the bold strokes create strong silhouette recognition. Numerals are sturdy and highly legible, matching the letterforms’ rounded geometry and uniform stroke energy.
