A heavy, rounded sans with superelliptical construction: bowls and counters read as softened rectangles, and most terminals finish with broad, flat cuts rather than sharp points. The stroke weight is consistently thick and even, producing a dense, stable color on the page. Uppercase forms are compact and squared-off (notably in C, G, O, Q), while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) keep a slightly chiseled, wedge-like character that adds energy without breaking the overall softness. Lowercase maintains a straightforward, utilitarian build with short extenders and simple joins; counters remain open enough for clarity despite the weight. Numerals match the same blocky, rounded geometry, with the “1” and “7” leaning toward strong, simplified silhouettes.
Best suited for display use such as headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks where a strong, friendly impact is desired. It can work for short UI labels or signage when high visibility is needed, but the dense weight is most comfortable at larger sizes rather than long passages.
The overall tone is confident and approachable—more friendly than severe—thanks to the rounded-square shapes and the absence of sharp detailing. Its weight and compact proportions give it a loud, poster-ready presence, while the soft corners keep it from feeling aggressive.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a softened, contemporary geometry—combining sturdy, squared forms with rounded corners to feel modern, approachable, and highly legible at display sizes.
The font’s rhythm is driven by broad verticals and squared curves, creating a clean, contemporary texture. In text settings the heavy weight dominates quickly, so spacing and line length benefit from generous breathing room.
