A heavy, rounded sans with compact counters and a squared-off, superelliptical construction. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, giving bowls and rounds a stable, boxy feel. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, terminals are clean and flat, and joins are broad, producing dense letterforms with strong presence. Spacing reads firm and slightly tight in text, emphasizing solid word shapes and a steady rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where weight and width can do the work—posters, banners, packaging, and bold brand marks. It also fits wayfinding and large-format signage where a sturdy, simplified silhouette helps maintain clarity at distance.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, balancing toughness with approachable rounded corners. It feels contemporary and energetic, with a no-nonsense clarity that still comes across as friendly rather than severe.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a geometric, softened-square voice—combining strong density and clean construction for contemporary display typography that remains approachable.
The numerals and uppercase share the same robust, rounded-rectangle logic, helping headings look uniform and punchy. Lowercase forms keep simple, functional silhouettes, reinforcing a straightforward, high-impact texture at larger sizes.
