A sturdy, geometric sans with monoline strokes and broad, circular bowls. Curves are smooth and close to true circles, while straight stems and terminals end in clean, square cuts. Proportions feel balanced and contemporary, with open counters and generous apertures that keep forms clear at a range of sizes. The overall rhythm is even and steady, with straightforward construction and minimal modulation.
This font is well suited to headlines, branding, and short-form messaging where a strong, clean presence is needed. It also works effectively in signage and poster work thanks to its open counters and uncomplicated shapes, and it can support packaging and interface-style labeling where clarity and consistency matter.
The tone is modern and confident, projecting clarity and directness without feeling cold. Its rounded geometry adds a friendly, approachable character that reads as contemporary and utility-driven.
The design appears intended as a contemporary workhorse sans that prioritizes clarity and impact through simple geometry and consistent stroke weight. It aims to be versatile for display-forward typography while remaining straightforward and legible in supporting text at moderate sizes.
Uppercase forms are compact and impactful, while lowercase keeps a simple, single-storey feel in key letters (notably the “a” and “g”), reinforcing a geometric, streamlined voice. Numerals follow the same solid, circular logic, staying consistent with the letterforms for cohesive headings and UI-style readouts.
