A heavy geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and smooth, softened corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick and even, producing a sturdy color on the page, while counters are relatively open for the weight. Curves tend toward superelliptical shapes (notably in C, G, O, and numerals), and terminals are cleanly cut with minimal taper. Proportions read compact and efficient, with straightforward forms and a stable, upright stance that keeps word shapes clear at large sizes.
Best suited for display typography where its thick strokes and rounded geometry can read crisply: headlines, brand marks, packaging, and promotional graphics. It can also work for UI labels and dashboards when set with sufficient spacing, especially where a friendly, robust tone is desired.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable: solid and assertive from the weight, but friendly due to the rounded geometry. It feels pragmatic and product-oriented rather than expressive or calligraphic, suggesting clarity, reliability, and a mildly tech-forward sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, modern sans that stays approachable through rounded, superelliptical construction. It prioritizes consistency and visual solidity, aiming for clear, contemporary word shapes with a softened, product-friendly personality.
Uppercase forms look blocky and authoritative, while lowercase maintains simple, legible structures with single-storey shapes where expected (e.g., a and g) and clear dotting on i/j. Numerals are similarly rounded and substantial, matching the alphabet’s weight and curvature for consistent texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
