A heavy, rounded sans with a superellipse construction: curves resolve into squarish, softly radiused corners rather than true circles. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing strong, dense silhouettes and tight counters. Terminals are blunt and clean, and joins are sturdy; diagonals (as in A, V, W, X) read crisp while still feeling softened by the overall rounding. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with single‑storey a and g, a short-armed t, and a simple i/j with square-ish dots. Numerals are wide and weighty, with open, straightforward forms designed to hold up at large sizes.
Well suited to bold headlines, branding marks, and short statements where maximum impact and quick recognition are needed. It also fits packaging, sports or tech-facing campaigns, and signage where sturdy shapes and strong contrast against the background improve visibility.
The tone is bold and confident with an approachable, contemporary friendliness. Its rounded-rectangle geometry gives it a sporty, engineered feel—more punchy than elegant—making messages land quickly and clearly. The overall impression is energetic and utilitarian, leaning toward branding and display rather than subtle text settings.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary, high-impact sans that feels solid and dependable while staying approachable through rounded, superelliptical forms. The emphasis appears to be on bold legibility and brandable shapes that reproduce reliably at large sizes and in simple color treatments.
The font maintains consistent rounding and thickness across the alphabet, which helps keep texture even in all-caps and mixed-case lines. Tight apertures and small counters add heft and presence, while the rounded corners prevent the weight from feeling harsh.
