A heavy, geometric sans with squared-off rounds that read as superelliptical—curves feel like softened rectangles rather than perfect circles. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are cleanly cut, producing crisp silhouettes. Uppercase forms are compact and blocky, with generous inner counters in letters like B, D, O, and P for clarity at display sizes. The lowercase is sturdy and straightforward with single-storey a and g, tight-looking joins, and a broad, even rhythm across words. Numerals are similarly robust and open, matching the letters’ squared-round construction and strong baseline presence.
Well-suited to headlines, packaging, and brand marks that need a solid, contemporary presence with a friendly edge. The bold, open shapes also work well for UI labels, navigation, and signage where quick recognition matters. It performs best when used at medium to large sizes where its squared-round details and confident rhythm are most apparent.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable: bold enough to feel assertive, but rounded enough to stay friendly. Its squared-round geometry gives it a slightly tech-forward, UI-minded character while maintaining an easy, everyday neutrality. The font projects clarity and confidence without feeling sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact sans that stays approachable through rounded, superelliptical construction. It prioritizes clear, stable letterforms and consistent geometry, aiming for strong display performance while remaining practical for short text in interfaces and branded communications.
The design leans on consistent corner rounding and flat edges, creating a distinctive “rounded rectangle” logic across bowls and curves. Counters and apertures are kept relatively open for a heavy style, which helps maintain legibility in dense settings. The sample text shows a strong word image with even spacing and a stable, no-nonsense texture.
