A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse shapes, with smooth corners and broadly even stroke thickness. Counters are compact and rectangular-oval, giving letters a dense, poster-ready texture. Uppercase forms are wide and stable, while lowercase stays similarly chunky with simplified bowls and minimal modulation; apertures tend to be tight, reinforcing a solid, impact-driven rhythm. Numerals match the same squared-round logic, with firm horizontal cuts and generous corner rounding for a cohesive, uniform color in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and brand marks where a compact, high-impact presence is needed. It also works well for packaging, labels, wayfinding, and UI moments like badges or buttons where rounded geometry and strong weight improve visibility.
The overall tone is confident and approachable—industrial strength with softened edges. Its rounded geometry reads contemporary and friendly rather than aggressive, making it feel energetic and brand-forward while still straightforward and utilitarian.
The font appears intended as a modern, high-impact sans that translates the logic of rounded rectangles into a consistent alphabet for bold branding and display use. The softened corners suggest an aim to keep the voice welcoming and contemporary while maintaining maximum legibility at large sizes.
The design emphasizes strong silhouette and repeatable shapes: squared curves, flat terminals, and consistent rounding across joints. In running text the tight openings and dense counters increase visual punch, favoring short bursts of copy over delicate, high-detail settings.
