A heavy, rounded-rect sans with squared curves and generously radiused corners. Strokes stay even throughout, with broad, stable horizontals and verticals and minimal modulation. Counters are compact and softly squared, producing a dense color and strong silhouette, while terminals are clean and blunt. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short extenders, and the overall rhythm feels boxy and engineered rather than calligraphic.
Best suited to display sizes where its dense weight and rounded-square geometry can read as a deliberate stylistic choice. It works well for headlines, branding systems, packaging, wayfinding, and UI/UX labels that need bold presence and quick recognition, especially in tech or product-forward contexts.
The tone is modern and assertive, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded corners. Its chunky geometry reads as tech-forward and utilitarian, suited to interfaces and product environments where clarity and presence matter. The overall feel is confident and straightforward rather than elegant or delicate.
Likely designed to combine the authority of a heavy sans with softened, superelliptical rounding for approachability. The intent appears to be high-impact readability and a cohesive geometric voice across letters and numerals, optimized for contemporary display and interface-driven typography.
Round letters like O/C/G lean toward superelliptical shapes, and joints in letters like K/M/N keep crisp, mechanical angles. Numerals follow the same rounded-square logic, maintaining a consistent, sturdy texture alongside the letters.
