A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are thick and even, creating dense counters and sturdy, simplified joins. Curves feel superelliptical rather than purely geometric, and terminals are blunt with slight rounding that keeps the texture from feeling sharp. Proportions are wide-set in capitals and fairly compact in lowercase, with a single-storey “a” and “g” and generally straightforward, utilitarian shapes that hold together as solid silhouettes.
Best suited to display roles where impact matters: headlines, posters, short marketing copy, product packaging, and bold brand statements. It can also work for logo wordmarks and signage where the compact, rounded forms remain clear at larger sizes.
The overall tone is bold and straightforward, with a friendly edge from the rounded geometry. It reads as contemporary and energetic—confident and a bit playful—more suited to attention-grabbing messaging than quiet neutrality. The chunky forms suggest strength and approachability at the same time, leaning toward sporty or poster-like expression.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual punch with a contemporary, rounded-square voice. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent, low-contrast stroke behavior for clear, confident display typography that feels modern and approachable.
At text sizes the internal spaces can tighten noticeably due to the heavy weight, producing a dark, emphatic color on the page. The font’s rounded-square logic is especially apparent in bowls and curves, giving it a distinctive, cohesive personality across letters and numerals.
