A heavy, rounded sans with squarish counters and corners softened into a superellipse-like geometry. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, creating a compact, high-ink silhouette and an even, steady rhythm in text. Curves tend toward rounded-rectangle forms (notably in C, O, and G), while joins and terminals are clean and blunt; the lowercase shows single-storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and a broad, sturdy t. Numerals are similarly weighty and simple, with open, clear shapes and a firmly geometric feel.
Best suited to display contexts where impact and immediacy matter—headlines, posters, branding, packaging, and short UI or signage labels. It can work for brief paragraphs at larger sizes, but its dense texture is most effective when used for emphasis rather than extended reading.
The overall tone is bold and approachable: friendly in its rounded forms, but assertive and attention-grabbing due to the dense weight and compact proportions. It reads as contemporary and slightly playful, with a sporty, poster-ready energy rather than a delicate or formal voice.
The letterforms appear designed to combine geometric clarity with a softened, approachable edge—delivering maximum visual punch while avoiding sharpness. Its consistent stroke weight and rounded-rectangle construction suggest an intention to be highly legible at a glance and visually distinctive in bold display settings.
The design favors large interior shapes and wide apertures where possible, helping counters stay open despite the heavy weight. In running text the color is strong and uniform, with a tight, compact presence that benefits from generous leading and moderate tracking.
