A heavy, geometric sans built from squarish, superelliptical forms with generously rounded corners and uniform stroke weight. Curves are tight and controlled, producing compact counters and small apertures in letters like C, S, and e. Terminals are mostly blunt and softly rounded, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) feel sturdy and slightly compressed. The overall rhythm is dense and stable, with consistent widths and a strong, block-like silhouette across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for display applications where bold, rounded geometry can carry a message quickly—headlines, logos/wordmarks, packaging, and wayfinding. It can work for short blocks of copy in large sizes, especially in tech, retail, and entertainment contexts, but its tight apertures and dense texture may feel heavy in extended small-size text.
The tone is assertive and contemporary, mixing a technical, engineered feel with friendly softness from the rounded geometry. It reads as energetic and approachable rather than formal, with a chunky presence that prioritizes impact over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a modern rounded-rectangle construction, offering a clean sans voice while emphasizing softness and approachability. Its consistent, engineered curves suggest a focus on contemporary branding and interface-adjacent aesthetics.
Distinctive cues include the rectangular bowls in B and 8, the squared-off, rounded-rectangle O/0, and a single-storey a with a compact interior. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangular logic, giving UI-like clarity at large sizes. The sample text shows strong word-shape cohesion and high visual density in paragraphs, suggesting best performance when given ample size and spacing.
