A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) curves and broad, even strokes. The design favors compact proportions and a high x-height, with wide counters and softened corners that keep dense text from feeling sharp. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, while curves in letters like C, G, O, and S read as squarish rounds rather than true circles. Numerals are similarly sturdy and simplified, with clear, open forms and a consistent, solid rhythm across the set.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where impact and clarity are priorities—headlines, brand wordmarks, packaging, posters, and wayfinding. The compact, rounded geometry holds up well in bold settings and can provide a contemporary, friendly tone in interface labels and marketing callouts.
The overall tone is pragmatic and contemporary, projecting strength without aggression thanks to the rounded geometry. It feels approachable and utilitarian, with a clean, no-nonsense voice suited to direct messaging and high-visibility typography.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a modern, geometric voice with softened corners for approachability, combining sturdy presence with clean, efficient shapes for high-contrast communication contexts.
The squarish curvature gives the face a distinctive, engineered feel that remains readable at larger sizes. The uniform stroke behavior and compact silhouettes create strong word shapes, especially in headlines and short UI strings.
