A heavy, rounded sans with a superellipse construction: bowls and counters read as softened rectangles rather than pure circles. Strokes are monolinear with minimal contrast, and terminals are broadly rounded, giving the forms a cushioned, blocky silhouette. Apertures are generally tight and counters are compact, while joins stay clean and sturdy, producing a dense, even color in text. The lowercase uses simple, single-storey forms (notably a and g), and the numerals share the same squared-round geometry for a consistent, robust set.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where its dense weight and rounded geometry can create immediate impact. It also works well for branding, packaging, and signage that benefit from a sturdy, modern voice and clear, high-contrast shapes at larger sizes.
The overall tone is bold and approachable—confident without feeling aggressive. Its soft corners and compact counters lend a friendly, contemporary feel that reads as energetic and slightly sporty, especially at display sizes.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence with a friendly, geometric look—combining bold color with softened corners for contemporary display typography that remains clean and coherent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
The design emphasizes strong silhouettes and uniform rhythm over fine detail, making it visually stable and punchy. Round letters like O/Q and curved lowercase forms retain a distinctly squarish interior, reinforcing the superellipse theme across letters and figures.
