A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and generously curved corners. Counters are fairly tight and apertures tend toward closed or compact, giving the letters a dense, blocky silhouette. Strokes are uniform with minimal modulation, and curves resolve into flat-ish terminals and squared joins softened by rounding. The uppercase feels sturdy and architectural, while the lowercase carries the same chunky proportions with a notably tall x-height and short extenders. Numerals match the letterforms with broad, rounded bowls and strong vertical emphasis, maintaining consistent weight and rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and bold brand statements where its mass and rounded geometry can work as a graphic element. It can also perform well for UI labels, app headers, and signage where a compact, high-impact sans is useful. For dense paragraphs, larger sizes and comfortable line spacing help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is assertive yet approachable: big, friendly shapes with a contemporary, digital flavor. It reads as confident and practical rather than elegant, with a playful softness coming from the rounded corners and cushiony geometry.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with simple, robust construction—pairing geometric, rounded-rectangle forms with a compact interior space for a strong, contemporary voice. It prioritizes punchy readability and a recognizable silhouette over airy openness or refined detail.
In longer text the dense spacing and tight counters create a dark color and strong presence, making it more at home at display sizes than in small body copy. The superelliptical curves and squared-off forms create a distinctive “soft-tech” look that stays consistent across letters and figures.
