A heavy, compact sans with a squared-off skeleton softened by generous rounding at corners and joins. Curves tend toward superellipse-like rounds rather than true circles, producing sturdy counters and a tight, even rhythm. Strokes remain consistent with minimal modulation, and terminals are mostly blunt, giving the letters a dense, poster-ready texture. The lowercase is straightforward and functional, with simple, sturdy shapes and short extenders that keep lines visually cohesive at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines and large-scale text where its dense shapes and rounded geometry can deliver impact quickly. It works well for branding and packaging that needs a strong, approachable voice, and for signage where bold, simplified forms help maintain clarity at a distance.
The overall tone is bold and assertive while still approachable, thanks to the softened geometry. It reads as contemporary and practical, with a no-nonsense presence that feels stable rather than flashy. The combination of weight and rounded structure gives it a friendly toughness suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to provide a high-impact, modern sans that stays friendly through rounded, superellipse-inspired construction. It prioritizes strong silhouettes, compact spacing, and consistent stroke behavior to create a stable, versatile display voice.
Round characters like O/C/G show a slightly squarish curvature that reinforces the geometric construction, while diagonals (A/V/W/X/Y) feel broad and weighty for strong silhouettes. Numerals share the same compact, block-like proportions, maintaining consistent color in mixed text.
