A heavy, geometric sans with a superelliptical construction: round forms read as rounded rectangles, and corners are consistently softened rather than fully circular. Strokes are uniform with little modulation, creating a solid, poster-ready color on the page. Uppercase letters are compact and squared-off (notably in C/G/S) while maintaining generous internal rounding; lowercase follows a single-story a and g with simple, sturdy bowls. The overall rhythm is tight and even, with short joins and blunt, softened terminals that keep shapes crisp without feeling sharp.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and brand systems that need a bold, friendly geometric voice. It should perform well in packaging and retail or wayfinding contexts where strong silhouette recognition matters, and in posters or social graphics where dense, even color is an advantage.
The tone is contemporary and approachable—confident and workmanlike, with a friendly softness from the rounded-rectangle geometry. It feels utilitarian in a good way: strong, readable, and slightly playful without becoming quirky.
The design intention appears to be a high-impact geometric sans that replaces pure circles with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms, balancing firmness with approachability. Its simplified joins and consistent corner rounding aim for clear, repeatable shapes that remain legible and recognizable in large-scale applications.
The numerals follow the same squared, rounded-corner logic, with a wide, stable 0 and compact, blocky figures that prioritize clarity at display sizes. Diacritics and punctuation are not shown, but the shown set suggests a consistent system built around rounded rectangles and straight-sided curves.
