A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Curves are broad and smooth, counters are relatively small, and terminals end with clean, blunt cuts that keep the silhouette compact and sturdy. Proportions lean wide and stable in uppercase, while lowercase forms stay simple and upright with minimal modulation; round letters (o, c, e) read as squarish ovals. Numerals match the same dense, built-up rhythm, with large fills and consistent stroke weight that favors impact over delicacy.
Best suited for high-impact headlines, brand marks, packaging, and short statements where bold, compact forms maximize presence. It also works well for signage and digital UI accents when you want friendly authority and strong legibility at larger sizes.
The overall tone is confident and approachable, combining a sturdy, poster-like presence with friendly rounded shapes. It feels contemporary and energetic, with a slightly playful softness that keeps the weight from becoming harsh.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a smooth, contemporary geometry, using rounded-rectangle forms to feel welcoming while remaining assertive and highly readable in display contexts.
At text sizes the tight counters and heavy joins can make internal spaces feel compressed, while at display sizes the rounded geometry becomes a defining stylistic signature. The Q’s tail and the squarish bowls across C/O/G emphasize the superelliptical, rounded-rectangle theme.
