A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal modulation, producing dense, dark letterforms and strong color on the page. Curves (C, G, O, Q) read as squarish superellipses rather than true circles, while joins and terminals are clean and blunt. Lowercase forms are sturdy and simple, with single-storey a and g, short extenders, and tight-looking counters that emphasize solidity over delicacy. Figures are bold and geometric, with squared shoulders and rounded corners that maintain a consistent, controlled rhythm.
Works best in attention-grabbing applications such as headlines, posters, storefront and wayfinding signage, packaging, and bold brand marks. Its rounded block geometry also suits UI labels and badges where a friendly but firm presence is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic while staying approachable due to the rounded geometry. It feels contemporary and utilitarian, with a slightly sporty, headline-forward personality that prioritizes immediacy and impact.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual weight and clarity with a soft-edged geometric skeleton, combining strong impact with approachable rounding. The consistent, superelliptical curves and blunt terminals suggest an intention to be versatile for modern display and branding contexts without ornamental details.
Wide strokes and compact counters make the design feel especially strong at display sizes; in longer text the dense texture can feel forceful. The squarish round shapes give it a distinctive, engineered look compared to more circular grotesques.
