A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Curves read as superelliptical rather than circular, giving bowls and counters a squarish, compact feel. Strokes stay even throughout, terminals are blunt, and joins are clean, producing a sturdy, high-contrast-in-shape (not stroke) silhouette. The lowercase features single-story forms (notably a and g) and simplified, rectilinear details that keep rhythm tight and highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to bold headlines, logos, packaging, and short messaging where its compact, rounded geometry can carry personality and presence. It also works well for signage and interface-style labels when you want a friendly, tech-leaning look with clear shapes at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels modern and approachable, mixing a utilitarian, engineered clarity with a warm softness from the rounded corners. It suggests a retro-digital or industrial friendliness—confident and punchy without becoming aggressive.
The design appears intended to blend geometric efficiency with softened, rounded construction—delivering a robust display voice that feels both contemporary and slightly retro. Its simplified forms and consistent rounding prioritize recognizability and a cohesive, branded texture across letters and numerals.
Counters tend to be relatively small and boxy, which reinforces the dense, impactful color on the page. Numerals and capitals share the same squared-off rounding, keeping the set visually unified in headlines and UI-style labeling.
