A heavy, geometric sans with softly squared curves and broadly rounded corners, giving many letters a superellipse-like footprint. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation, and counters are relatively open for the weight. Curves and joins are simplified and robust, with squared terminals and a compact, tightly engineered feel; the lowercase forms stay straightforward and mostly single‑storey in construction (notably a and g), supporting a clean, contemporary rhythm. Numerals are similarly bold and stable, matching the overall density and blunt, high-impact silhouettes.
Best suited to display work where bold presence is an asset: headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks that need a sturdy, modern feel. It also fits signage and UI moments like hero text or buttons where rounded geometry and high contrast against the background help create clear, confident emphasis.
The tone is direct and assertive while staying approachable due to the rounded geometry. It reads as contemporary and practical, with a slightly industrial, signage-like confidence rather than a delicate or editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a clean, contemporary sans structure, using rounded-superellipse forms to soften the mass and keep the tone friendly. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent, no-nonsense construction for clear display communication.
At larger sizes the rounded-rectangle construction becomes a defining stylistic signature, producing strong, easily recognizable word shapes. The overall color on the page is dark and emphatic, with tight interior spaces that reward generous sizing and spacing in layout.
