A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick and even, with mostly straight-sided verticals and broadly curved joins that keep the forms sturdy and uniform. Round letters (O, C, G, Q) read as squarish superellipses, while counters are relatively open for the weight, producing clear silhouettes at display sizes. Lowercase forms are simple and robust, with short ascenders/descenders and a single-storey a and g, contributing to an efficient, dense texture. Numerals match the same blocky, rounded geometry and maintain strong, stable widths and alignment.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where a compact, punchy voice is needed—such as posters, packaging, storefront or wayfinding signage, and bold brand wordmarks. Its dense proportions and sturdy shapes also work well for badges, labels, and UI headers where space is limited but impact is required.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a friendly edge from the rounded corners and smooth curvature. It feels contemporary and utilitarian rather than delicate, projecting clarity, strength, and approachability in equal measure.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in a tight horizontal footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep bold forms legible and visually cohesive. Its simplified lowercase and consistent stroke weight suggest an emphasis on clarity, durability, and modern brand utility.
The design’s rhythm is driven by tight, compact proportions and consistent stroke behavior, which creates a solid “wall of type” effect. Diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are thick and steady, and the rounded terminals prevent the heavy weight from feeling harsh.
