A heavy, geometric sans with softly squared curves and round terminals, creating a superelliptical feel in bowls and counters. Strokes stay consistent in thickness, with broad, sturdy verticals and compact interior spaces that emphasize a dense, solid color on the page. Uppercase forms are wide and stable with simplified joins and minimal modulation, while lowercase shows straightforward construction with single‑storey shapes (notably the a and g) and open, legible apertures. Overall spacing reads even and practical, with proportions tuned for impact rather than delicacy.
Performs best in display contexts where strong presence and quick recognition are needed, such as headlines, brand marks, packaging, posters, and wayfinding. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation elements where a compact, sturdy sans is desirable, but the dense weight suggests using it at comfortable sizes for extended reading.
The tone is modern and approachable, pairing a friendly roundness with a confident, no-nonsense weight. It feels contemporary and functional—more “clear signage and product UI” than “expressive editorial”—while still maintaining a warm, inviting presence.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary geometric voice with softened corners, prioritizing clarity and visual impact. The consistent stroke weight and squared-round construction suggest an intention to balance friendliness with firm, dependable structure for modern identity and interface-oriented typography.
Round forms like O, Q, and 0 are closer to rounded rectangles than perfect circles, reinforcing the squared-soft geometry throughout. Numerals are bold and emphatic, matching the letterforms’ dense texture and making the set suitable for prominent display of figures and labels.
