A compact, heavy sans with softened, superelliptical curves that read like rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are thick and steady with subtle modulation, and terminals are generally squared-off but eased, producing a blocky-yet-smooth silhouette. Counters are relatively tight, with rounded bowls and arches that keep forms open enough for display use, while verticals dominate the rhythm for a tall, condensed color. The figures match the letterforms with robust weight and curved joins, and the overall set maintains a consistent, geometric cadence across uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings where a compact, high-impact voice is needed—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and wayfinding or signage. It can also work for short subheads and callouts where a modern, geometric softness is desired, though the dense weight and tight counters suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The tone is modern and self-assured, mixing a technical, constructed feel with approachable softness from the rounded corners. It suggests contemporary branding—confident rather than aggressive—and carries an editorial punch suited to short, emphatic messages.
The letterforms appear designed to fuse geometric construction with softened edges, delivering a contemporary sans that feels both engineered and welcoming. The condensed stance and heavy color emphasize impact and space efficiency while preserving a cohesive, rounded-rect aesthetic.
The design balances straight sides with rounded corners, creating a distinctive “soft-rectangular” motif that becomes especially apparent in bowls, arches, and the more squared curves. Its dense texture and condensed proportions make word shapes strong and graphic, with a clear, uniform baseline and sturdy presence at larger sizes.
