A compact, heavy sans with softly squared curves and rounded-rectangle counters that give round letters a superelliptical feel. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are clean and blunt, producing crisp silhouettes. Proportions are slightly condensed in many forms, with tight apertures and sturdy joins; diagonals (as in K, V, W, X, Y) are straight and assertive. Lowercase forms follow a simple geometric construction, with single-storey a and g, a square-ish i dot, and a short crossbar on t; numerals are broad and blocky with clear, uniform weight.
Performs best in display contexts where strong, compact shapes are an advantage—headlines, posters, packaging, and logo wordmarks. The sturdy geometry and blunt terminals also suit UI labels, navigation, and signage where consistent texture and quick recognition are important.
The overall tone is contemporary and straightforward: solid, efficient, and distinctly digital. Rounded corners soften the mass, adding approachability while maintaining a strong, utilitarian voice suited to modern interfaces and branding.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, high-impact sans with rounded-rectangle construction for a contemporary, screen-native feel. The emphasis appears to be on clarity and solidity at larger sizes, combining geometric rigor with softened corners for a more approachable presence.
Counters tend to be boxy and evenly proportioned, and curved letters like C, G, O, and Q read as rounded rectangles rather than circles. The heavy weight and compact spacing create a dense color on the page, emphasizing impact over delicacy; this is especially noticeable in the sample text where the rhythm stays steady and bold across long lines.
