A heavy, geometric sans with softly squared (superelliptical) curves and a consistently thick stroke. Counters are generous and openings are fairly open, producing clear silhouettes even at smaller sizes. Terminals are blunt and clean, with minimal modulation and an overall compact, sturdy build; the uppercase feels broad-shouldered while the lowercase stays straightforward and uncluttered. Numerals are similarly solid and even, matching the font’s dense, poster-ready color.
Best suited to display roles where strong presence and fast readability matter, such as headlines, posters, wayfinding and signage, packaging, and bold brand statements. It can also work for short UI labels or callouts where a compact, high-contrast typographic block is desired.
The tone is direct and contemporary, balancing friendly roundness with a no-nonsense, workmanlike solidity. It reads as confident and approachable rather than technical or delicate, giving headlines a clear, emphatic voice without looking aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, highly legible display sans that feels sturdy and friendly, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep forms recognizable and consistent while maintaining strong visual impact.
Round letters like O/C/G show the superellipse influence—more squared than purely circular—while diagonals (A, V, W, X) remain crisp and stable. The overall spacing and proportions create a dark, even texture that favors strong contrast against the page.
