A heavy, rounded-rectangle sans with a superelliptical construction: broad strokes, softened corners, and mostly squared-off curves that read as “pill” shapes rather than true circles. Letterforms are compact and sturdy, with tight interior counters and short apertures that create a dense, poster-like texture. Terminals are blunt and consistent, and the overall rhythm is uniform and stable, emphasizing mass and silhouette over fine detail. Numerals and capitals follow the same blocky logic, producing strong, easily recognized shapes at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and identity work where a strong, friendly block shape is desirable. It also fits packaging and signage that need bold presence and quick recognition, particularly in simple layouts with ample spacing.
The tone is loud and approachable at the same time—confident, chunky, and slightly playful thanks to the rounded geometry. It carries a retro-industrial flavor (signage and headline lettering) while still feeling clean and contemporary in its simplicity.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a softened, geometric voice—combining the authority of a heavy sans with rounded, superelliptical forms that keep it approachable and contemporary.
Because counters and joins are dense, the font’s strongest performance is at larger sizes where its rounded corners and superelliptical curves can be appreciated without filling in. The sample text shows a cohesive, heavy color with minimal modulation, prioritizing impact and uniformity.
