A very heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) curves and a distinctly blocky footprint. Strokes stay largely uniform, with minimal modulation and smooth joins that keep counters open despite the weight. Terminals are mostly flat and squared off, while bowls and shoulders are generously rounded, creating a soft-edged geometric rhythm. Proportions feel slightly condensed in the uppercase with broad, stable horizontals; lowercase forms are sturdy and simplified, and the numerals are wide, bold, and built for quick recognition.
Best suited to headlines, large-scale signage, posters, and brand marks where maximum punch is needed. It can work well for packaging and promotional graphics that want a sturdy, modern feel, and it pairs naturally with simpler sans text faces as a supporting display weight.
The overall tone is loud, confident, and utilitarian, balancing toughness with approachability thanks to the rounded geometry. It reads as modern and pragmatic, with a sporty, poster-like energy that favors impact over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact communication with a softened geometric voice—combining block-like strength with rounded forms for a contemporary, friendly-industrial presence.
At large sizes the rounded corners and consistent stroke mass create a cohesive, logo-ready silhouette. In dense text the weight dominates and spacing can feel tight, so it benefits from generous leading and careful tracking when used beyond headlines.
