A compact, heavy sans with softly squared curves and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing dense, dark color and crisp silhouettes at display sizes. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, counters are relatively tight, and curves read as superelliptical rather than purely circular. The lowercase shows simple, sturdy forms with a single-storey “a” and “g,” while numerals are similarly robust and rounded, keeping a cohesive, blocky rhythm across the set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short statements where a solid, compact sans can deliver immediate impact. It also fits wayfinding and signage, as well as branding and packaging that benefit from bold, rounded-rect geometry. For longer text, it works more comfortably at larger sizes with added spacing.
The overall tone is modern and no-nonsense, with a confident, attention-grabbing voice. Rounded corners soften the mass, lending a practical friendliness rather than sharp aggressiveness. It suggests contemporary signage and product-forward branding where clarity and impact matter more than delicacy.
The design appears intended to combine strong, space-efficient letterforms with softened, contemporary rounding, yielding a geometric sans that feels both functional and approachable. Its consistent stroke weight and compact build prioritize high-contrast presence and straightforward readability in display contexts.
The font’s tight internal spaces and compact proportions create strong presence but can cause counters to close up when set small or in long passages. It reads especially well when given generous tracking and line spacing, where the rounded-rect geometry becomes more apparent and consistent from letter to letter.
