A heavy, compact sans with softly squared, superelliptical curves and broadly rounded corners. Strokes stay even and monoline, producing dense, dark letterforms with tight counters and short apertures. Uppercase shapes are wide and muscular, while the lowercase maintains a high x-height with simplified, sturdy joins and minimal modulation. Numerals and capitals share the same chunky geometry, emphasizing clarity and mass over delicacy.
Well suited to headlines, short statements, and identity work where strong presence is needed—such as posters, branding lockups, packaging, and bold UI callouts. The rounded, blocky construction also works nicely for sporty and youth-oriented graphics where you want impact without sharpness.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with a friendly softness from the rounded-rectangle construction. It feels contemporary and energetic, lending a straightforward, no-nonsense voice that still reads approachable rather than technical or austere.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual punch with a contemporary, rounded-square flavor—combining the authority of a heavy grotesk with softened geometry for a more approachable display voice.
The rhythm is intentionally chunky: round letters like O/C/G are built from squarish bowls, and terminals tend to end in blunt, rounded cuts. The dense color and relatively closed forms suggest better performance at display and headline sizes than in long, small text settings.
