A heavy, rounded sans with squared-off curves and a superellipse construction that keeps bowls and counters broad while corners remain softly radiused. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a dense, even color. Many terminals are flat and blunt, and curves tend toward rounded-rectangle geometry rather than perfect circles, giving letters a compact, engineered feel. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g) and generous apertures for the weight, while numerals are wide and stable with smooth, rounded corners.
Best suited to display typography where impact and warmth are needed—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It can handle short paragraphs in large sizes, but its dense weight suggests using generous tracking and line spacing for longer text.
The tone is assertive yet approachable: big, soft-edged shapes read friendly and contemporary, while the blocky rounding adds a retro, poster-like punch. Its presence feels confident and playful without becoming decorative.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual presence with a soft, rounded-rectangular geometry—combining the authority of a heavy grotesk with the friendliness of rounded corners for modern, attention-grabbing messaging.
The design’s rhythm is defined by large counters and rounded internal corners, which helps maintain clarity at display sizes despite the dense stroke weight. The overall silhouette stays clean and geometric, with minimal quirks, making it easy to set in all-caps headlines and short bursts of copy.
