A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are uniform and dense, producing compact counters and a sturdy, poster-ready color on the page. Round letters like O and C read as squarish ovals, while terminals and joins stay clean and blunt rather than tapered. Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy with single-storey a and g, and the numerals match the same rounded, blocky rhythm.
This font excels in high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where bold, rounded geometry helps messages land quickly. It also suits signage and display UI moments (titles, tiles, and hero text) where clarity and a friendly edge are both important.
The overall tone is confident and contemporary, balancing strength with approachability. Its rounded geometry gives it a friendly, slightly playful character even at very heavy weight, making it feel energetic rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch while keeping a soft, contemporary feel through rounded superellipse forms. It prioritizes strong silhouette, even rhythm, and straightforward letterforms for versatile display typography.
The fit is tight and the internal apertures are relatively small, so the face reads best when given enough size and/or breathing room. Curves and diagonals are simplified into strong, graphic shapes that keep the texture consistent across mixed-case text and figures.
