A heavy, block-forward sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes stay broadly uniform, producing dense, compact internal counters and a strong, even color on the page. Curves tend toward superelliptic rounds rather than true circles, while straight-sided forms remain square-shouldered and stable. Numerals and capitals read like solid signage shapes, with wide proportions and generous sidebearings that keep the texture open despite the weight.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and brand marks where strong, blocky shapes and rounded geometry help messages land quickly. It also works well for signage and packaging that needs high visual impact and a friendly, modern edge in short lines or large sizes.
The tone is confident and loud, with a sturdy, no-nonsense presence that still feels approachable due to the rounded corners. Its geometry suggests a contemporary, sporty attitude—more energetic than formal—and it communicates impact without relying on sharpness or high contrast.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with simple, rounded-rectilinear forms, balancing toughness and approachability. It prioritizes bold legibility and a contemporary geometric feel for display-oriented typography.
At text sizes the bold massing creates a strong headline rhythm, with especially dark joins and terminals that emphasize the font’s compact counters. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike structure with minimal modulation, supporting quick recognition in short bursts rather than extended reading.
