A heavy, geometric sans with subtly rounded corners and smooth, closed curves that read as superellipse-like rather than perfectly circular. Strokes are uniform with low contrast, producing dense, solid letterforms and a compact rhythm. Terminals are mostly flat and clean, with generous counters in letters like O, D, and P that keep the face readable despite the weight. The lowercase shows a straightforward construction with single-storey forms (notably a and g) and simple, functional joins, while numerals are robust and evenly proportioned for strong presence in text and display.
It performs best in headlines, short copy, and branded statements where a strong, clean voice is needed. The solid color and rounded geometry also suit packaging, wayfinding, and UI moments like buttons or labels where clarity and impact matter at a glance.
The overall tone is modern and assertive, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded geometry. It feels pragmatic and contemporary—more utilitarian than expressive—suited to clear, confident messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-impact sans that stays approachable through rounded, superellipse-inspired curves. It prioritizes clarity and consistency, aiming for a dependable workhorse feel in display-forward applications.
The font’s geometry creates a consistent, almost modular texture, especially in all-caps settings. Curved letters (C, G, S, O) maintain a smooth, controlled rounding, while straight-sided characters (E, F, H, N) emphasize stability and a clean silhouette.
