A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves are squarish and superelliptical, with softened corners and large, open counters that keep the dense weight readable. Strokes are uniform and steady, terminals are clean and mostly horizontal/vertical, and joins feel engineered rather than calligraphic. Overall spacing is generous for the weight, producing a stable, billboard-like rhythm in both caps and lowercase.
This font performs best at large sizes where its wide geometry and rounded-rectangular forms can project impact—headlines, posters, wayfinding and signage, product packaging, and bold brand wordmarks. It can also work for short UI labels or buttons when a strong, modern presence is desired, but its mass and width make it less suited to dense body text.
The tone is confident and forceful, with a contemporary, utilitarian character. Its rounded corners and wide stance soften the aggressiveness just enough to feel friendly, but it still reads as bold, loud, and attention-driven—well suited to energetic, modern branding.
The design appears aimed at creating maximum visual punch with a cohesive superelliptical system: wide shapes, rounded corners, and simple geometry that reproduces cleanly and reads quickly. It prioritizes clarity and consistency over nuance, targeting bold contemporary communication.
Distinctive rounded-rectangular bowls and counters give letters and numerals a cohesive, modular feel, especially in forms like O/0, B, D, and 8. The lowercase maintains the same blocky geometry, resulting in a consistent texture in longer text while remaining clearly display-oriented.
