A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction across curves and counters. Strokes are thick and consistent, with smooth, softened corners that keep the dense weight from feeling harsh. Proportions are compact and stable, with wide bowls and generous interior counters for the weight; the lowercase shows a tall x-height and short extenders, keeping lines visually solid. Diagonals and joins are clean and direct, and the numerals share the same broad, rounded geometry for a cohesive, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to display work where strong presence is needed: headlines, posters, signage, packaging, and bold brand wordmarks. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when a dense, high-impact voice is desired, especially at larger sizes where its rounded geometry is most apparent.
The overall tone is bold and assured, with a friendly softness from the rounded geometry. It reads as contemporary and utilitarian—more about clarity and impact than elegance—making it feel energetic and straightforward.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact while staying approachable, using superelliptical curves to balance a powerful weight with soft edges. The tall x-height and open forms suggest an emphasis on readability in bold display settings.
In text, the rhythm is strongly even and dark, producing a pronounced typographic “block” that holds together well at large sizes. The rounded corners and open counters help preserve legibility despite the extreme weight, while the compact vertical proportions keep multi-line settings tight and emphatic.
