A heavy, compact sans with squared-off curves that read as rounded rectangles rather than pure circles. Strokes stay very even, with broad verticals and tight internal counters that keep the silhouettes dense. Corners are consistently softened, producing superellipse-like bowls in C/G/O and a sturdy, blocky feel in straight-sided forms like E/F/H and the numerals. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, short joins, and simple terminals that remain blunt and clean; the overall rhythm is solid and slightly condensed in feel despite regular widths.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a dense, high-impact sans is needed. It also fits packaging and wayfinding/signage, especially when a friendly geometric voice is desired without becoming playful. In longer text, it will perform best with ample spacing and moderate sizes to maintain clarity in the tight counters.
The tone is modern and assertive while staying approachable due to the rounded geometry. It suggests practicality and efficiency—more workwear than luxury—suited to bold, straightforward messaging. The shapes feel stable and energetic, with a subtle sporty/industrial edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a clean, contemporary sans structure, using rounded-rectangle geometry to soften the mass and keep it approachable. It aims for a utilitarian, logo-ready presence that remains consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
At display sizes the tight apertures and thick joins create strong color and impact, while smaller sizes may need generous tracking or leading to avoid dark texture. The numerals match the letterforms with similarly squared curves and consistent weight, supporting a cohesive typographic voice across headings and number-heavy layouts.
