A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Curves read as superelliptical rather than perfectly circular, giving counters and bowls a squarish, engineered feel. Strokes are monolinear with minimal contrast and a firm, even color on the page; terminals are mostly blunt with gentle rounding. Proportions are tight and efficient, with relatively small apertures and counters that hold up well at large sizes. The overall rhythm is stable and upright, with simple, workmanlike letterforms and clear, bold numerals.
Best suited for headlines, display typography, and short statements where maximum punch and quick recognition matter. The dense, rounded forms make it effective for branding, packaging, labels, and wayfinding or signage, especially in high-contrast, large-scale settings.
The tone is assertive and no-nonsense, but the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh. It feels contemporary and utilitarian, with a friendly, slightly playful solidity that suits bold messaging and straightforward communication.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, modern sans voice built from rounded-rectangle shapes—combining strong presence with softened edges for approachable impact. The consistent stroke weight and compact fit suggest an emphasis on clarity and durability in display-led applications.
Round letters like O/C/G lean toward a squarish silhouette, while joins and shoulders stay smooth and weighty, reinforcing the “softened block” theme. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with single-storey forms and short, strong extenders that prioritize impact over delicacy.
