A heavy, geometric sans with superelliptical construction and rounded-rectangle curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a solid, even texture in both display and text settings. Corners are softened rather than sharp, and counters tend toward squarish ovals, giving rounds like O/C/G a controlled, engineered feel. The lowercase shows a single-story a and g, simple vertical terminals, and compact apertures; the overall rhythm is steady and blocky with clear, uncluttered forms.
Well-suited for headlines and brand marks where a bold, modern voice is needed without sharp edges. The even stroke weight and simplified forms also support short UI labels, navigation, and signage, especially when set with generous spacing. It performs best in display and short-to-medium text where its heavy color and rounded geometry can be appreciated.
The rounded geometry tempers the weight, creating a friendly, contemporary tone rather than an aggressive one. It reads as pragmatic and tech-adjacent—confident and straightforward, with a slightly playful softness from the superellipse curves.
The design appears intended to combine robust, high-impact weight with approachable, rounded geometry. By using superelliptical rounds and simplified, contemporary lowercase forms, it aims for strong readability and a clean, modern identity across branding and interface-oriented contexts.
Capitals are broad and stable, with symmetrical, near-monoline construction that keeps word shapes crisp at larger sizes. Figures are sturdy and highly legible, with smooth curves and firm horizontals that maintain a strong baseline presence.
