A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like shapes. Curves are broad and even, corners are softly radiused, and terminals finish bluntly, creating a compact, blocky silhouette. The proportions are steady and utilitarian, with wide bowls and counters kept open by consistent stroke thickness. Diagonals (as in A, K, V, W, X, Y) are clean and planar, while round letters like O and Q read as squarish ovals. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, with a notably straight, vertical “1” and broad, low-contrast curves in “2” and “3.”
Best suited to headlines, bold UI labeling, product branding, packaging, and wayfinding where strong presence and quick recognition matter. Its rounded geometry holds up well at medium-to-large sizes, especially in short bursts of text such as titles, buttons, and posters.
The overall tone is modern and engineered, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded corners. It feels practical and robust—more like product typography and signage than editorial refinement—while still reading approachable and contemporary.
The design intention appears to be a high-impact, highly legible sans that merges geometric construction with softened corners for a contemporary, product-oriented feel. It prioritizes consistency and clarity over calligraphic detail, aiming for a confident, modern voice across letters and numerals.
Spacing appears generous for a bold style, helping maintain clarity in dense settings. The lowercase is especially compact and sturdy, with single-storey forms (notably a and g) that reinforce a simplified, geometric voice.
