A compact, geometric sans with substantial weight and generous, rounded counters. Curves are smooth and circular, terminals are largely blunt, and joins are clean, giving it a solid, engineered presence. Proportions lean broad, with a stable baseline and even color across lines, while key forms like the single-storey “a” and “g” reinforce a modern, simplified construction.
Well-suited to branding, logos, headlines, posters, and packaging where a bold, approachable tone is desired. It should also perform well in short-to-medium UI or signage labels that benefit from sturdy shapes and open counters, though its heavy weight is most effective for display rather than dense, long-form reading.
This typeface feels confident, direct, and contemporary. Its heavy, friendly shapes give it an approachable, slightly playful tone while still reading as pragmatic and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to deliver strong visual impact at a glance, prioritizing clear silhouettes and consistent stroke weight. Its simplified, geometric letterforms suggest an emphasis on contemporary usability—especially where quick recognition and a strong typographic voice matter.
The figures and capitals are built from the same rounded geometry as the lowercase, creating a cohesive, uniform texture. Round letters stay very circular, while diagonals (such as in V/W/X/Y) remain crisp and decisive, balancing softness with structure.
