A heavy, compact sans with broad, rounded-rectangle curves and flat terminals that create a sturdy, block-like rhythm. Counters are relatively tight and mostly oval/superelliptical, while joins and corners are consistently softened rather than sharp. Uppercase shapes read wide and stable (notably in C/G/O/Q), and the lowercase follows a simple, geometric construction with a single-storey a and g, short apertures, and minimal modulation. Numerals match the same dense, rounded geometry, maintaining a uniform, signage-like color in text.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a dense, modern presence is needed. Its sturdy shapes also work for packaging and signage, especially in short phrases where the tight counters won’t reduce readability.
The overall tone is bold and self-assured, with a friendly softness from the rounded corners. It feels contemporary and utilitarian, leaning toward impact and clarity rather than delicacy.
Likely drawn to deliver a contemporary, high-impact sans that stays approachable through rounded geometry. The consistent stroke weight and softened corners suggest an intention to balance assertiveness with warmth for attention-grabbing display use.
The design prioritizes strong silhouettes and even texture, with closed forms and small openings that increase visual mass. In longer lines it produces a dark, consistent typographic color, making it most comfortable at display and headline sizes.
