A sturdy sans with broad proportions and smooth, rounded curves paired with flat, confidently cut terminals. Strokes stay even throughout, producing a solid texture, while counters remain open and generously sized for clarity. The lowercase is built on simple, near-geometric forms with a high x-height, short-to-moderate ascenders, and compact joins, creating a compact vertical rhythm. Numerals are full and rounded with straightforward construction, matching the letterforms’ steady weight and wide stance.
Best suited for display roles where strong presence and quick recognition matter, such as headlines, brand marks, posters, and wayfinding. Its open counters and straightforward shapes also work well for short UI labels, navigation, and product typography at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is modern and self-assured, balancing a friendly softness from the rounded bowls with a no-nonsense clarity from the straight cuts and consistent stroke color. It reads as contemporary and practical rather than expressive or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, contemporary sans voice with dependable legibility and a broad, approachable silhouette. It prioritizes even texture and simple geometric construction to stay versatile across branding and editorial display contexts.
Round letters like C, G, O, and Q feel especially smooth and circular, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are blunt and stable, reinforcing a grounded, signage-like presence. Spacing appears comfortable in running text, supporting a dense but legible paragraph color at larger sizes.
