A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than perfect circles, giving bowls and counters a squared-off, superelliptical feel. Strokes are broadly even and dense, with short, blunt terminals and minimal modulation. The lowercase shows simple, utilitarian forms (single-storey a and g), open apertures, and a sturdy rhythm; numerals match the same rounded-rect geometry with wide, stable shapes.
Best suited to headlines, logos, packaging, and bold typographic statements where its compact, rounded-rect geometry can carry a strong visual identity. It can also work for UI labels, signage, and dashboards when set with adequate size and spacing to keep counters open.
The overall tone is modern and assertive, with a friendly edge from the softened corners. It reads as practical and tech-forward rather than expressive or calligraphic, projecting clarity and reliability at larger sizes.
The design appears intended to merge geometric clarity with approachable rounded corners, producing a contemporary sans that feels engineered and consistent across letters and numerals. Its emphasis on uniform corner treatment and sturdy construction suggests a focus on brandable, high-impact display typography.
Round letters like O/Q and the bowls in B/P/R maintain consistent corner radii, reinforcing a systemized look. Diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) feel sturdy and slightly softened at joins, avoiding sharp points. The spacing in the sample text appears generous for a bold face, helping maintain legibility despite the heavy color.
