A heavy, geometric sans with softly squared curves: round forms read as superelliptical, with rounded-rectangle counters and gently eased corners throughout. Strokes are uniform and low-contrast, producing a solid, even color in text. Proportions are compact with relatively tight apertures and sturdy joins; terminals tend to finish bluntly rather than taper. The lowercase shows single-storey forms where expected (notably the “a”), with simple, utilitarian construction and stable verticals.
Well-suited to headlines, branding, and display typography where a bold, modern voice is needed without sharp edges. It also fits packaging and short UI/wayfinding strings that benefit from compact, high-impact letterforms, while longer text will work best with generous leading and moderate sizes.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, combining strong weight with softened geometry for a friendly, non-aggressive feel. It reads confident and functional, with a slightly tech-forward character thanks to its squared-round skeleton and compact rhythm.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, contemporary sans built from softened geometric forms—pairing high visual presence with approachable rounded corners. Its consistent stroke and compact construction suggest a focus on clarity and brandable character across prominent typographic roles.
At larger sizes the rounded-rectangular counters become a defining feature, giving a “soft-square” personality distinct from purely circular geometric sans styles. In running text, the dense strokes and closed apertures emphasize impact over airiness, making spacing and line length choices especially important for comfort.
