A heavy, rounded sans with soft-cornered rectangular construction and a strongly geometric feel. Curves resolve into superellipse-like shapes, giving counters and bowls a squarish roundness (notably in O, D, and 0) and producing a dense, even color on the page. Terminals are blunt and clean, joins are sturdy, and diagonals (V, W, X) feel thick and stable. The lowercase is compact with a tall x-height and short extenders, while spacing reads tight-to-moderate, reinforcing the font’s solid, poster-ready presence.
This font is well-suited for short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, and large labels where strong silhouette and dense color are advantages. It also fits modern branding and packaging that want a friendly geometric punch, and can work for signage when set with sufficient tracking to preserve clarity.
The tone is bold and upbeat—confident without feeling aggressive—thanks to the rounded geometry and lack of sharp detail. It projects a contemporary, approachable voice that leans sporty and tech-forward, with a slightly playful, toy-block softness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through thick, rounded-rect geometry and compact proportions, creating a distinctive contemporary sans that feels sturdy, approachable, and highly legible at larger sizes.
The numerals share the same squared-round logic and read clearly at display sizes, matching the overall chunky rhythm. The shapes stay consistent across uppercase and lowercase, emphasizing uniformity and impact over delicate modulation.
