A heavy, rounded sans with superelliptical curves and squared-off counters that read like softened rectangles. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with broad terminals and minimal modulation, creating a dense, poster-ready texture. The lowercase is compact and punchy, with a single-storey “a” and “g,” short-looking extenders, and tight internal apertures that emphasize solidity over delicacy. Figures are bold and simplified, matching the same rounded-rectangle logic for consistent color and rhythm across text.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where its dense weight and rounded geometry can deliver immediate impact. It also works well for branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from a sturdy, approachable voice. For longer copy, it will perform more comfortably at larger sizes or with increased tracking and leading.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, combining friendliness from the softened corners with an unmistakably forceful, attention-grabbing weight. It feels pragmatic and energetic—more about impact and clarity than nuance—suiting brands that want to sound direct, upbeat, and current.
The design appears intended to provide a modern, high-impact sans that stays friendly through rounded corners and superelliptical shaping. Its simplified forms and uniform stroke treatment prioritize bold legibility, consistent texture, and a strong graphic footprint across letters and numbers.
Round letters (like O/C/G) keep a slightly squared silhouette rather than perfect circles, which reinforces the geometric, engineered feel. In running text, the heavy weight and compact apertures create strong typographic color, making it best when set with generous spacing and ample line height.
