A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) geometry throughout. Strokes are monoline and consistent, with compact counters and broad curves that stay controlled rather than bubbly. Terminals are clean and blunt, apertures are moderately closed, and the overall texture reads dense and stable at display sizes. Uppercase forms are wide and even, while lowercase shows simple, single-storey constructions where applicable and a compact rhythm that keeps words tight and blocky.
Best suited to headlines, identity work, and bold interface or product messaging where a compact, rounded-geometric voice is helpful. It can work well in signage and packaging that needs strong legibility and a contemporary, approachable feel, particularly at medium to large sizes.
The rounded geometry softens the weight, giving the face a friendly, contemporary tone without losing authority. It feels straightforward and utilitarian, with a subtle tech/product sensibility driven by its squared curves and sturdy silhouettes.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, sturdy sans with softened geometry—pairing the impact of a heavy weight with rounded superellipse forms for approachability and clear, high-contrast-free reproduction.
Numerals and caps appear designed for clarity in headlines, with strong silhouettes and minimal internal detailing. The overall spacing and heavy color suggest it is most comfortable when set larger, where the rounded corners and superellipse curves can be appreciated without counters filling in.
