A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and largely uniform strokes. Curves are broad and controlled, corners are softened rather than sharp, and apertures tend to be tight, giving the face a dense, poster-like color on the page. Terminals are mostly flat and decisive, while counters in letters like O, P, R, and a are simple and sturdy. Overall spacing appears slightly tight, emphasizing solidity and impact in both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to large sizes where its compact counters and dense texture become a strength: headlines, posters, and impactful brand statements. It can work well for packaging and signage that needs quick, high-contrast recognition through shape and mass rather than fine detail. For longer passages, it’s more appropriate for short bursts of text like callouts, labels, and UI emphasis.
The tone is assertive and energetic while staying approachable due to the softened geometry. It feels contemporary and utilitarian, with a no-nonsense, headline-first attitude that reads as confident rather than elegant. The rounded forms add a friendly, consumer-facing warmth that suits bold messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a clean, geometric voice—favoring sturdy, rounded-rectangular forms that stay legible and consistent under heavy weight. It prioritizes immediacy and brandable silhouette over delicacy, aiming for a modern display workhorse that feels both strong and accessible.
The capital set is especially blocky and stable, with wide horizontals and strong vertical stems that create a consistent rhythm. Lowercase forms keep a straightforward, single-storey feel where applicable, and the numerals match the same chunky, rounded construction for cohesive emphasis in display settings.
