A heavy, blocky sans with rounded-rectangle curves and squared terminals softened by consistent corner radiusing. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and a strong, compact silhouette. The uppercase feels tall and stable with wide shoulders and simplified joins, while the lowercase follows a pragmatic, single-storey construction where applicable, keeping forms open but weighty. Numerals are similarly robust and geometric, matching the overall rounded-rectangular rhythm and creating an even, poster-forward texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, display copy, and short bursts of text where impact and clarity matter—such as posters, brand marks, packaging panels, and wayfinding or retail signage. It can work in UI labels or badges when set with sufficient size and spacing to preserve counter clarity.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a modern, utilitarian character that still reads approachable thanks to the softened corners. It conveys strength, clarity, and a no-nonsense presence suited to bold messaging.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, geometric voice with softened edges—combining the authority of a heavy grotesque with rounded-rectangle construction for a contemporary, approachable finish.
Large sizes show a consistent superelliptical logic across bowls and rounded corners (notably in C, G, O, Q, and e), creating a cohesive, engineered feel. Tight inner spaces at this weight emphasize impact over delicacy, and the condensed counters and blunt terminals reinforce a signage-like directness.
