A heavy, geometric sans with superellipse-like bowls and softly rounded corners that keep the shapes compact and controlled. Strokes are largely uniform, with sturdy verticals and broad, stable curves; terminals read clean and mostly squared-off rather than tapered. Counters are generous for the weight, and the overall rhythm is even, producing strong color in paragraphs while retaining clear letter separation. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and structure, with smooth, blocky curves and open interior spaces.
Well-suited to bold headlines, posters, and brand marks where a strong geometric presence is needed. It also works for UI labels and navigation, and for short-to-medium text blocks where a dense, even texture and clear forms support quick scanning.
The tone is assertive and contemporary, projecting clarity and dependability without feeling harsh. Its rounded geometry adds a mildly approachable, upbeat character suited to modern brand and interface voices.
The font appears intended to deliver a contemporary, geometric voice with softened corners—combining the authority of a heavy sans with a more approachable, rounded construction for versatile display and interface use.
The design emphasizes compact curves and firm joins, giving rounded letters a slightly squared silhouette. In text, the dark texture is consistent and the shapes hold up well at larger sizes where the superellipse construction becomes more apparent.
